KUALA LUMPUR: An application by high-profile lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah to initiate a counterclaim against the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) over RM9.41mil in alleged tax arrears has been dismissed by the High Court here.
Judicial Commissioner Roz Mawar Rozain, in her decision to dismiss the leave application, said an individual facing a tax recovery lawsuit is not entitled to file a counterclaim against the government.
