IRB embarks on more aggressive tax collection

All supporting documents pertaining to tax relief and expenses must be kept for seven years for audit or investigation purposes.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Inland Revenue Board (IRB) will be cracking down harder on tax evaders this year, with "aggressive tax planning" among the strategies put in place, said its chief executive officer Datuk Sabin Samitah.

"For this purpose, we have set up the Aggressive Tax Planning Division under the Special Task Department to work closely with the Multinational Tax Branch among others," Sabin said at the launch of 'Kunjungan Mesra Hasil' at the IRB headquarters here on Monday.
