Tex Defaulters Barred From Leaving Country.

PETALING JAYA: Tax defaulters will be barred from leaving the country starting this month, until their arrears are fully paid.
 The Inland Revenue Board said in a statement on Wednesday, that the stoppage order is being invoked under Section 104 of the Income Tax Act 1967 and Section 22 of the Real Property Gains Tax Act 1976. However, defaulters will only be barred after they resist multiple attempts of collection by the board.
 The board said it had to take these "drastic measures to ensure that no one is excluded from carrying out their responsibility to meet their tax obligation", adding that instalment payment schemes are also available to help defaulters pay up. It advised taxpayers to take heed of any notice of outstanding tax.
