KUCHING: Sarawak will nominate the state financial secretary as its representative to sit on the Inland Revenue Board's (LHDN) board of directors, says Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.

This comes after the Federal Cabinet approved a proposed amendment to the Inland Revenue Act 1995 to include a representative each from Sabah and Sarawak as members of the LHDN board.
