PETALING JAYA: Comfort Gloves Bhd
has reached an agreement with the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) to settle tax disputes involving two wholly owned subsidiaries for a total of RM8.3mil.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the glove manufacturer said Comfort Rubber Gloves Industries Sdn Bhd and Gallant Quality Sdn Bhd reached the agreement on Oct 22, subject to the finalisation of settlement documentation.
The company said the settlement is not expected to have any material financial impact on the group, as the amount has already been provided for in the subsidiaries' financial statements.
