some 2" must have reported me.

Just wait for the income tax people to come lo.

Some dude threatened our family's small business to call his contacts in LHDN if we don't pay him.

We didn't do anything wrong so ignore him, he tipped off LHDN to come and give us problem.

UMNO really really sucks.

I received a letter from LHDN this week because i didn't declare my income for 2008. Now i am supposed to pay penalty of 20% of my income tax. That's freaking huge!

I did some research and found that only in June 2011 did LHDN announced they will increase this penalty to 20-30%. Before this, first time offenders had to pay just around $100. Shouldn't LHDN only use this new penalty rate for next year's declaration?

I feel there is some sort of entrapment going on. Lets say LHDN detected that i was an offender in January 2011; rather thay notifying me straight away, they chose to wait until June when the penalty rates has been increased. I guess BN needs money for the next general election

If your annual income (not monthly income) is less than 2500, you are not liable for tax. But that's irrelevant, if you make any income you must file a tax return.

ive always thought that the penalty is 3X what's outstanding. so if you're earning 10k a month and havent declared anything for the past ten years, once the auditors come in you better have a lot of savings.

workers generally have rebates from the pcb. if you dont declare, generally, its your loss.

that really sucks.

what small biz u guise running btw.

Why that dude threatened ur family business?

was your business all legit tax-wise?

i made a stupid mistake with my last year submission, i accidentally used my 2009 EA form instead of 2010.

i kena call from them and they fine me ard rm700, now in the process of appealing the fine and hopefully by next week can kautim.

don't play around with lhdn, if they want they can make ur live a living nightmare!

I really dun understand how can a person earn RM8.5k dunno anything about taxes.

yes company will deduct but we still need open file and declared.

Yea, I mean a person can be earning 8.5k also dunno that huh?

saman go to jail. true story.

will this quote enter news as well ?

i wonder, if do business like freelance if no pay tax ok ah ? since gomen cannot check... unless they check ur bank acct every mth got money come in la.. but either than that no records of ur salary coz its freelance monthly agent pay into ur bank... nobody declare anything ..

I hope he is prepared for fines in the tens of thousands. Lhdn is very efficient now in sending out queries.

Oh and by the way lhdn can screw you over 7 years later it's the law. You need to keep records for that long and if you fail to show you're in trouble

just dont buy expensive things like car more than RM 28k with CASH..and dont suddenly put huge amount in u account or otherwise u account will be freeze by bank negara.

dont buy house or car cash if he/she dont want trouble.

my friend do bussiness.tersilap bukak resit.short RM 0.10 sen.LHDN tahan dia untuk seminggu.denda berapa puluh ribu ntah.

True story, my friend declare tax for the 1st time. And kena fine tax from lhdn. Coz his father didn't pay tax and his father passes away or smth. Dun really know the actual story. I only know that he has to settle his dad's tax debt from selling a house or land.

And I heard that lhdn can charge ur next of kin. Is that true?
