IPOH: Flamboyant cosmetic entrepreneur Datuk Seri Hasmiza Othman, better known as Datuk Vida, was fined RM80,000 over 16 charges of failing to submit Goods and Services Tax (GST) statements between April 1, 2015 and July 31, 2015. 

Hasmiza pleaded guilty – after originally pleading not guilty – at the Sessions Court here over the 16 charges of failing to submit GST statements to the Customs Department.

However, the founder of Vida Beauty Sdn Bhd pleaded not guilty to another 16 charges of failing to pay GST, and requested that the case be re-mentioned.

The decision was handed down by Judge Murtazadi Amran after the accused’s lawyer, Syed Ahmad Syed Abas, told the court that his client wanted to make an admission of guilt.


On Oct 13, Hasmiza claimed trial to 16 counts of failing to submit her GST statements and 16 counts of failing to pay GST amounting to RM4.2 million between April 2015 and July 2016.

She allegedly committed the offences at the Royal Malaysian Customs, GST Division office, at Wisma Kastam in Jalan Tun Razak here.

The first 16 charges are framed under Section 41(7) of the GST Act 2014, which carries a maximum fine of RM50,000, or three years’ imprisonment, or both, on conviction.

The next 16 charges are framed under Section 41(6) of the GST Act 2014, which carries a maximum fine of RM50,000, or three years’ imprisonment, or both, on conviction.

The court set RM1.76 million as bail for all the charges and impounded the accused's passport pending disposal of the case.
