The departure levy for outbound air travellers is a form of tax collected by the government, not by the airports or airlines said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
He said the mechanism for the departure levy, which will be implemented on the 1st of June is yet to be finalised.
The government had proposed in Budget 2019 to impose a departure levy for all outbound travellers by air starting June 1, 2019, to encourage domestic tourism.
The proposed rate is two-tiered, namely RM20 for outbound travellers to Asean countries and RM40 to countries other than Asean.
