Judge Azharari Kamal Ramli also decided that notices of assessment were issued legally by the comptroller to Petronas. “The first respondent had also acted reasonably in issuing the notices and the statements because the applicant had taken the stand that it is not a taxable person abd had failed to submit the return as requested by the first respondent,” the judge said when dismissing the judicial review Petronas sought against the decision of the comptroller to compel Petronas to pay the 5 per cent sales on the export of petroleum products.
