KUALA LUMPUR: The Shah Alam High Court has dismissed an application by Toh Puan Na’imah Abdul Khalid, the wife of former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin, for an interim stay against an order requiring her to pay RM313.82mil in income tax arrears to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB).
Judge Dr Shahnaz Sulaiman ruled that the court found no exceptional circumstances warranting Na'imah's request for a stay, emphasising that the respondent (IRB) holds the legal authority to enforce tax collection under the Income Tax Act (ITA) 1967.
