KUCHING: Sarawak has issued a Notice of Assessment to Petronas seeking payment of the State Sales Tax (SST) on petroleum products, saying failure to do so will result in legal action.
Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg said Petronas had yet to pay the
SST while other companies had done so.
“Under the SST Ordinance 1998, Petronas is legally obligated to pay SST and their failure to do so would tantamount to a breach of the law,” he said.
Abang Johari, who is also the state finance and economic planning minister, said this when tabling the Supply Bill 2020 in the Sarawak Legislative Assembly here today.
He said that, as of Sept 30, the state had collected revenue of RM5.653 billion. — BERNAMA
