LHDN perlu siasat kemungkinan pengelakan cukai libat kumpulan TH

The Audit Committee (EAIC) of the Tax Councillors has called for the Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) to investigate the possibility of tax avoidance practices involving the Tabung Haji (TH) and its affiliated companies. Mazlan Ahmad, the Consultant to the Authority Strengthening Committee in the EAIC, stated that a comprehensive investigation is needed, supported by forensic accounting to monitor the flow of funds, including the source, destination, and parties receiving benefits.

He emphasized that the investigation should not be limited to management-level individuals or board members; instead, it should encompass the entire ecosystem and transactions of the institution. Mazlan stressed that the issue at hand is ensuring the availability of the best forensic accounting to track the flow of money from its origin, destination, and the individuals benefiting from all these schemes.

He concluded that the findings of the RCI report should serve as a starting point for deeper investigations, rather than the end of the process. He also highlighted that the main issue raised by the RCI is the poor management of the TH's affairs, particularly at the board level. As an experienced accountant and a member of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA), Mazlan pointed out that the board has a fiduciary duty to provide oversight, auditing, and balancing mechanisms for the organization in question.
