Expats who left owe RM50mil to taxman


CYBERJAYA: More than RM50mil in tax arrears have not been collected from expatriates who have left Malaysia since 2012, said Inland Revenue Board (IRB) CEO Datuk Sabin Samitah.

He said most of them were from the services sector, and had either falsified their real wages in the expatriate’s application form or declared a lower wage than what they actually received.
