INCOME TAX NEWS ::: Those that didnt pay their income tax and dues, better do so before being barred from leaving the country at airport. The IRB is on the hunt. Tax evaders – even those owing as little as RM200 – are being barred from leaving the country until they have paid their dues. The officers have been very busy in the last few months. The IRB is chasing after 97,343 defaulters to get them to settle an accumulated unpaid tax totalling a staggering RM2.88bil (RM2,886,891,630.59). This year, 8,332 new names were added, with cumulative unpaid taxes totalling RM162.97mil (RM162,971,207.33). This year alone, the IRB has successfully recovered RM8.37mil (RM8,378,871.48) from those who had been planning to leave the country. The IRB has engaged the support of the Immigration Department to enforce the travel “blacklist”. “Whether the purpose of leaving Malaysia is for leisure, business or migration, the no exit order will apply to all tax offenders,” IRB corporate communications director Nor Azirah Mohd Said told The Star.
