My friend who working as tax consultant and dealing with LHDN facing some issue from his client especially on employment stamp duty and e-invoice, as usual LHDN top officer won't layan since it is policy related matter, they will ask u go refer to minister or deputy minister. He go and approach Lim Hui Ying and Amir Hamzah also no no feedback at all. End up have to cari Wee Ka Siong and Wee Ka Siong raise it up at press conference. It speak a lot on how minister in MOF working right now.
If change to Liew Chin Tong, i'm sure Liew Chin Tong can be easily approachable and revert the matter to PMX or Amir Hamzah. LHDN top management just matter about KPI on tax collection, the rest they DGAF at all, tax collection KPI is their performance bonus.
Sometimes you need the right surat sokongan
Last time someone told me , got MNC in MY gets their pioneer tax free status renewed way past the initial 5 year period. Going on about 30+ years kek
About the time the 5 year about to lapse, CFO with C level from HQ come down make a friendly visit to BNM, get a surat sokongan, top off with surat sokongan of the state govt drop by MIDA and visit the chairman and pass it off to them. Sometimes get surat sokongan from minister also
So MIDA releases another 5 year letter signed off by MITI kek
But they of course back it up with data on how much they support local economy, employ local vendors and local staff, CSR efforts and also the number of TVET they bring in yearly la. So in this case quite merited and not a tongkat
