Kota Kinabalu: The Inland Revenue Board’s (IRB) Voluntary Declaration Programme will start from June 1 to May 31, next year.
IRB Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Dr Mohd Nizom Sairi said, the programme give taxpayers the opportunity to report income without incurring any penalty.

“The IRB will accept each report without further inquiry and the years in which these reports are made will not be reviewed or open for audit.
