Westport Holdings is being chased by the Malaysian inland revenue for allegedly underpaying its taxes, the port operator has confirmed.

The Malaysian container terminal operator is said to face an additional payment of MYR 120.6m ($29m), according to a regulatory filing.

The increased tax bill is said to be related to total annual lease payments made by Westports to the Port Klang Authority (PKA) of MYR 300m between 2013 and 2018.
