Notes
MALAYSIA palm oil export tax - Monthly tax review: In August, the countrys export tax on crude palm oil will be kept unchanged at 4.5 percent for the sixth consecutive month, despite a slight increase in the international reference price for palm oil. By keeping export charges at the bottom of the pre-defined tax range palm oil shipments are encouraged, which also helps to further reduce the countrys palm oil inventories.
