The Inland Revenue Board (IRB) has issued the operational guidelines GPHDN 2/2019 - Application for tax clearance letter for company, Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) and Labuan entity (“GPHDN 2/2019”), dated 12 November 2019.  GPHDN 2/2019 replaces GPHDN 3/2016 - Application for tax clearance letter for company, LLP and Labuan entity dated 31 July 2016 (“GPHDN 3/2016”).
