He pointed out that these exemptions, intended to boost economic activities, have not always met their objectives, with some sectors not contributing to the economy as expected. Rahman emphasized the need for a review of these exemptions to ensure they align with economic growth and fiscal responsibility. He also mentioned that the government is considering a more targeted approach to tax incentives, focusing on sectors that genuinely need support to thrive, while ensuring that the tax base is not eroded further.
