Our Group Tax Specialist, Ang Sim Tay, represented the #IRASFam as a panellist on 'Pillar Two: Global Minimum Tax' at the recent IFA Asia Pacific Regional Conference in Kuala Lumpur.

At the conference, leading tax experts from across the region discussed technical challenges surrounding new developments in Base Erosion Profit Shifting 2.0, transfer pricing and cross-border dispute resolution.

“The conference offered valuable insights into how Malaysia and Indonesia are approaching Pillar Two implementation,” Ang Sim reflected. “The robust exchange of perspectives on emerging tax issues was also enlightening. I’m particularly grateful for IFA Malaysia’s warm hospitality, which made my experience even more memorable.”

Earlier this week, the #IRASFam came together for an inspiring town hall centred on the theme 'Together as One IRAS'.

Commissioner Ow Fook Chuen delivered an insightful opening address, sharing his reflections from his first quarter at the helm of IRAS. He outlined his observations and insights from these initial months, before setting out the vision and strategic direction for the organisation's future.

Another highlight of the session was the recognition of our LEA:D Award recipients. One of the winners, Nancy Ng, Deputy Director of the Small Business Division (Business Operations Branch), represented her team in showcasing their initiative 'IRAS as the Single Source of Truth for Self-Employed Persons' Data ' – a project that earned them the prestigious Chairman's Award. This initiative streamlines income declaration with greater convenience for all self-employed persons, who now need to declare their income to only one agency – IRAS.

The town hall concluded with an engaging panel dialogue, where our senior management team addressed staff Q&As about culture-building and career development, demonstrating our commitment to building a supportive workplace.
