SHAH ALAM – The Selangor government has agreed to a one-year entertainment duty exemption for entrance fees (tickets) for stage performances by local artistes effective January 1 to December 31, 2022.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the exemption was given following views and feedback from the public, especially from those in the industry, on the imposition of the tax which had become a concern recently.
“However, the exemption will not apply to foreign artistes,” he said in a statement today.
Amirudin said for now, an entertainment tax would not be imposed on buskers. The entertainment duty exemption will also apply to live band performances (tickets) from January 1 to December 31, 2022.
Meanwhile, Amirudin said the state government had instructed the Selangor Land and Mines Office and the Selangor Forestry Department to re-gazette the Kuala Langat Utara forest reserve immediately.
“This area involves Kg Orang Asli Busut Baru, covering an area of 42.05ha, and the alignment of the Sg Rasau Water Treatment Plant pipeline which covers an area of 8.58 ha,” he added. – Bernama, April 8, 2022
