No mercy for tax offenders

Paying your dues: As of July, nearly 490,000 taxpayers have taken part in the SVDP to reveal their undeclared incomes to the government.

PETALING JAYA: The Inland Revenue Board (LHDN), along with its foreign tax counterparts, will go after tax evaders when the Special Voluntary Disclosure Programme (SVDP) ends on Sept 30, says its chief Datuk Seri Sabin Samitah.

Sabin said LHDN internally has in place a good data platform and enough information on taxpayers to gauge their compliance levels.
