State, Regional & Local Taxes

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ท Suriname โ€” District Administrations

Suriname's 10 districts have limited local taxing authority within national frameworks. The Surinaamse Belastingdienst administers national taxes. Suriname went through a severe debt crisis in 2020โ€“21 and defaulted on its sovereign debt; an IMF program is stabilizing the economy. Oil (Staatsolie) and gold mining are dominant revenue sources. A major TotalEnergies offshore oil discovery (Block 58) is advancing toward production. Suriname uses the Surinamese dollar (SRD); significant devaluation has affected the real tax burden.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ Malaysia โ€” State & Local Authority Taxes

Malaysia's 13 states and 3 federal territories have limited independent taxing powers. States levy quit rent (cukai tanah) on land, assessment rates (cukai pintu/taksiran) on property through local councils, and royalties on natural resources. Petroleum royalties are a major state revenue in Sabah, Sarawak, and Terengganu. Local councils (majlis perbandaran) levy property assessment at 6%โ€“12% of estimated annual rental value. No state income taxes exist โ€” this is federal.
