KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 — The Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) has objected to former Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim’s application for leave to commence judicial review proceedings against the Inland Revenue Board (IRB), over its alleged unilateral cancellation of an agreement on the settlement of RM4.8 million in tax and penalties.
Senior Federal Counsel (SFC) Ng Siew Wee said the application was premature as the impugned letter issued by the IRB to the former Baling MP on August 7 stated that a new tax computation would be issued in due course and did not raise a fresh assessment or demand payment of any quantified sum.
Ng said the impugned letter stated that a review of the case had uncovered new findings and facts concerning income allegedly omitted from the agreement, resulting in the cancellation of the agreement and consequently, the composite assessment with a new tax computation to be issued in due course.
