LHDN to pay over RM3bil in tax refunds for 2017 and prior


PETALING JAYA: The Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) has yet to pay out RM3.807bil in tax refunds for assessments filed in 2017 and prior, mainly due to what it claims was investigations and the failure of taxpayers to update their details.

The Auditor-General’s 2019 Report said the delay in making the refunds has caused LHDN to bear late payment charges of RM38.29mil for 135,960 cases from 2013 to 2019.
