Therefore, these tax cuts would create a much-needed confidence in the industry to create more business ventures, innovate and boost entrepreneurial growth in the IT sector.

FITIS Chairman Abbas Kamrudeen stated: “We welcome the commitment towards tax relief especially in the IT industry, it was much-needed to motivate the IT sector. This would undoubtedly be a positive move to develop the IT sector.”
