In this respect, the functions of the Inland Revenue Board Malaysia (IRBM), Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and Department of Environment (DOE) are reviewed. Furthermore, as a lesson to the country, environmental policy in other major economies countries are comparably reviewed, together with the presentation of overall ranking of green tax index. Before concluding section, a comparison of Malaysian practice is made against the practices in other countries. |
