Zafrul: Customs Dept targets RM40b from taxes this year

The Royal Malaysian Customs Department is targeting to collect RM40.7 billion in taxes this year, or higher than the RM38.6 billion collected in 2020.

Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz is confident that the department could achieve the target even though the country still has to contend with the sting of the Covid-19 pandemic.
