00:00The Shah Alam High Court heard today that a notice of additional taxation issued by

00:06the Inland Revenue Board to Naeema Khalid for RM 313.8 million is flawed and unlawful.

00:14As Saravana Kumar, representing the widow of the late Dayim Zainuddin, said his client

00:19was being double-taxed on her income.

00:21He said Section 45 Sub 2A of the Income Tax Act 1967 allows a wife to be jointly taxed

00:28with her husband, which Naeema has chosen to do.

00:32Saravana told the court that LHDN sent a letter to Dayim dated June 12, 2023, stating that

00:37his wife had acquired an additional RM 350 million in Ilham Baru Sundar Perhat in 2018.

00:45He claimed that although Dayim and LHDN had reached a settlement, the tax authority later

00:50issued a separate letter to Naeema on the same subject matter.

00:54Last year, Naeema filed her application for leave to commence judicial review proceedings

00:59to quash LHDN's demand for RM 313.8 million in tax arrears.

01:05She contends that LHDN cited the wrong provisions of the law when issuing its Notice for Tax

01:10Assessment for 2018.
