Details

The Third Edition of this book updates and expands the earlier Editions; sets out the basic principles of revenue law in Singapore and Malaysia; and introduces the most significant inclusion of thirteen chapters on Shari'ah Revenue Law.

The compilation of case extracts has been further enlarged and other source materials have been woven into the text so that the reader will find these commentaries conveniently located. The inclusion of a large number of examples, many of them with critical legal analysis, and the concept of competitive legal intelligence, enhance this work with an innovative strength unmatched elsewhere. This edition further incorporates changes in revenue law development in Singapore and Malaysia vis-a-vis global trade as a result of trade liberalisation and expansion of a borderless E-marketplace.

The Shari'ah revenue law perspective will undoubtedly generate interest in other areas of Shari'ah subject matters where tax is a factor. Extensive research has been carried out by both authors to mirror as closely as possible, current laws in force with cases and examples on almost all major facets of Singapore and Malaysian revenue law.
