The Inland Revenue Board (IRB) has issued a media release in mid-2015 advising taxpayers to seek the services of qualified and approved tax agents under Section 153(3) of the Income Tax Act 1967 to manage their tax matters.
It is because services provided by unlicensed tax agents could lead to inaccurate or unclear tax advice including preparation of the income tax return form which does not comply with the tax law.
In addition, unlicensed tax agents are not eligible to represent taxpayers in audits conducted by the IRB.
Taxpayers can check the list of approved tax agents and validity of their approvals by the Minister of Finance at the IRB’s website.
