No special treatment: Najib, Nazifuddin must pay RM1.7bil tax arrears, counsel tells court

PUTRAJAYA: The filing of an appeal by Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his son Datuk Mohd Nazifuddin in relation to a RM1.7bil tax arrears is meant to avoid paying off what they owe the government, the Federal Court heard.

According to Chief Revenue Counsel Dr Hazlina Hussain, it was a statutory duty of a taxpayer to pay taxes when it was due.
