SHAH ALAM: Cosmetics entrepreneur Nur Sajat (pic) was fined RM2,700 in default six weeks’ jail by the Sessions Court here for three charges under the Goods and Services Tax Act.

Judge Rofiah Mohamad meted out the fine after Nur Sajat, 33, pleaded guilty to all the charges.

Nur Sajat, whose real name is Muhammad Sajjad Kamaruz Zaman, was present in court.

Nur Sajat paid the fine.

Nur Sajat was charged with failing to furnish Goods and Services Tax returns to the Customs director-general for the taxable period from April 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015; from Oct 1, 2015 to Dec 31, 2015; and from Dec 1, 2016 to March 31, 2016, as stipulated under Section 41n(1) of the Goods and Services Tax Act.

The offences were committed at the Royal Customs Department, Kompleks Kastam Wilayah Perseku­tuan Kuala Lumpur in Kelana Jaya, Petaling Jaya, between Oct 22, 2015, and June 16, 2016.

In mitigation, Nur Sajat claims ignorance of GST then.

“I apologise and admit that I had no knowledge of GST, my staff kept changing and also did not know. That was why I failed to submit my GST returns,” Nur Sajat said.

The Customs Department was represented by prosecuting officer Noor Asyikin Md Rodhi prosecuted, while Nur Sajat was unrepresented. — Bernama
