TAJ continues to carry out enforcement activities to ensure the protection of the revenue. Taxpayers are encouraged to speak with the Tax Authority to make suitable arrangements, if
they are faced with difficulties in honouring their tax obligations, particularly where a judgement has been handed down by the Court. Failure to comply with a Court Order will
result in strong enforcement action to recover the outstanding amounts.

Further updates will be provided.
