The former prime minister says income received from outside the country is not subject to tax, and that the donation was for Umno, not personal use.
PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Najib Razak says the political donation received from Saudi Arabia is not subject to taxes under the law, amid reports that he has been asked to pay RM1.5 billion in income tax.
In a Facebook post, however, Najib said income received from outside the country is not subject to tax under existing tax laws. He said the Pakatan Harapan -led government had already pressed charges against him for receiving the RM2.6 billion, and slapped him with another four charges for returning a large part of the sum four months later.
“If the PH government wants, they can claim tax of RM5 billion or RM10 billion from any individual as they have the power to do so.”
