PUTRAJAYA: The Kuching High Court will hear the legal challenge brought by Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) to quash the Notices of Assessment issued by Sarawak state government seeking the company to pay over RM1.3 billion in State Sales Tax (SST).

This was after the Court of Appeal’s three-man bench led by Justice Datuk Kamardin Hashim unanimously dismissed the appeal by Sarawak state government and Comptroller of SST against the Kuching High Court’s ruling allowing the leave application for a judicial review brought by Petronas.
