In a statement on Tuesday , LHDN said the number included 175,656 individuals with arrears under Section 104 of the Income Tax Act 1967, as well as 12,205 individuals with tax arrears under Section 22 of the Real Property Gains Tax Act 1976.
According to LHDN, the action of restricting travel abroad against any party is not aimed at denying them their rights but the action is an effort to enforce the existing tax law on taxpayers who fail to settle tax arrears. "In addition, the review of travel restrictions abroad can be done through the official portal of the Malaysian Immigration Department at https://sspi.imi.gov.my/sspi/," the statement said.
