Testimonial


Geetha has explained simply and easy to understand on the rules and guidelines on the Withholding tax. This make it a breeze to
apply in our workplace. She is open to questions we had in the lesson, and answered them professionally. This greatly increased our knowledge on the Withholding Tax. Highly recommended for those who has little or none knowledge on the Withholding Tax.
