KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 9 — The Court of Appeal has ruled that both Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his son Datuk Mohd Nazifuddin must pay RM1.69 billion and RM37.6 million in income tax arrears, respectively, after allowing the Inland Revenue Board to proceed with summary judgments obtained from the High Court as part of their civil recovery proceedings.
“Overall, we found that there are no merits in both appeals and no misdirections made by both High Court judges that need to be remedied by this court. Abdul Karim, who sat with Justice Datuk Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera and Justice Datuk Supang Lian, then allowed for an interim stay to be granted with conditions that the appellants must submit their appeal notice and stay application latest by next week lest the interim stay lapses.
Both Najib and Nazifuddin are appealing against the decisions of two separate High Courts which allowed the Inland Revenue Board’s ’s applications to enter summary judgment to recover tax arrears of RM1.69 billion from Najib and RM37.6 million from Nazifuddin, respectively.
Ridiculous ruling.
The heat is rising. If the appellants succeed in overturning the Appeals Court decision at the Supreme Court, does this mean that all IRB claims for unpaid income tax that were decided against the taxpayers in the past will have to be refunded?
