Two Chinese nationals working in Malaysia are facing income tax bills amounting to about 748,000 ringgit and 842,000 ringgit, respectively,
00:12
after their employer allegedly used their identities to submit false salary information.
00:17
At a press conference held by the MCA Public Services and Complaints Department on Monday,
00:22
the 42-year-old victim said she made the discovery when she tried to extend her work permit,
00:26
while another 40-year-old victim found out about it when she was extending her spouse's visa.
00:56
The 24-year-old victim told me that she received the visitation of the U.S.
01:01
She sent me a message that she received the permission of the U.S.
01:03
She sent me an email that she received a message to get the information that I received from the U.S.
01:06
and I sent her message to the U.S.
01:08
She sent me a message to the U.S.
01:09
She sent me a message to the U.S.
01:11
Her case, together with this Madam Chang,
01:41
Chen Nishi, it's the same thing, same thing, same story,
01:46
same story except Chen Nishi, Madam Chang,
01:51
he's married here, okay?
01:55
He's married here, okay?
01:57
I mean, he do not have to go back now, okay?
02:02
But for this victim here, he cannot go back
02:06
because he was blocked by the immigration
02:10
for further investigation.
02:13
The department said the employer, who is a Chinese national,
02:16
owned several mini markets and a steamboat restaurant
02:19
and he allegedly misused the two victims' identities and passports
02:23
to file tax returns with the Inland Revenue Board.
02:26
They said the employer allegedly declared
02:28
that the workers earned close to RM1 million annually,
02:31
whereas their actual salaries were only between RM7,000 and RM10,000.
02:36
They said this would allow the employer to report lower profits
02:39
and reduce its tax liability.
02:41
They said such cases have been occurring frequently in Malaysia
02:44
and some have even been referred to the department by the Chinese embassy.
