IPOH: Cosmetics millionaire Datuk Seri Dr Hasmiza Othman (pic) was fined RM500 in default two days’ jail, after she pleaded guilty for failing to submit her income tax return form (Form B) to the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia.

In a statement, the IRB said the founder and owner of Vida Beauty Sdn Bhd, better known as Datuk Seri Vida, 46, was ordered to pay the fine after she pleaded guilty before magistrate Siti Hanum Mohamed Sah yesterday.

Vida paid the fine and promised to file the income tax return for Year 2011 within one month from the date of sentencing.

IRB counsel Norhidayah Mohamad Anas appeared for the prosecution.

Last December, Vida pleaded guilty in the Ipoh Sessions Court to 16 counts of failing to submit her goods and services tax (GST) returns.

Meanwhile, the court fixed March 9 and 10, for hearing on the 16 counts of failing to pay GST after Dr Hasmiza maintained her not guilty plea last October. — Bernama
