Doing Business in Malaysia: Beware of Travel Restrictions for Taxpayers with Outstanding Tax Arrears

Updated: Mar 9, 2023


Info Cukai HASiL - Sekatan Perjalanan refers to "Income Tax Information - Travel Restriction."


It is a system implemented by the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia or LHDN) to restrict taxpayers who have outstanding tax arrears from leaving the country until they settle their tax liabilities.


Under this system, the LHDN can issue a travel restriction order (TRO) against taxpayers who have failed to pay their income tax, penalty, or other related taxes.


Sekatan Perjalanan is intended to ensure that taxpayers fulfill their tax obligations and pay their taxes on time. It also helps to prevent tax evasion by limiting the ability of taxpayers to flee the country without settling their tax arrears.


To avoid falling under the scope of travel restrictions and other penalties, it is important for businessmen and all taxpayers in Malaysia to comply with the provisions of the Income Tax Act 1967 and settle any outstanding tax liabilities promptly. This can help to ensure that taxpayers fulfill their tax obligations, avoid legal action by LHDN, and maintain their freedom to travel.

It is also advisable to seek professional tax advice and guidance to ensure that all tax obligations are met in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations.


Info Cukai HASiL - Sekatan Perjalanan指的是 "所得税信息-旅行限制"。


它是由马来西亚内陆税务局(Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia或LHDN)实施的一项制度,以限制有欠税的纳税人离开该国,直到他们解决其税务责任。


根据这一制度,LHDN可以对未能支付所得税、罚款或其他相关税款的纳税人发出旅行限制令(TRO)。


Sekatan Perjalanan旨在确保纳税人履行其纳税义务并按时缴税。它还有助于防止逃税,因为它限制了纳税人在未结清欠税的情况下逃离该国的能力。


为了避免落入旅行限制和其他惩罚的范围,马来西亚的商人和所有纳税人必须遵守1967年所得税法的规定,并及时解决任何未清偿的税务责任。这可以帮助确保纳税人履行其纳税义务,避免LHDN的法律行动,并保持其旅行自由。


此外,最好寻求专业的税务咨询和指导,以确保按照相关法律和法规履行所有的纳税义务。
