TAX DIVISION

Tan Sri Datuk Wira Dr. Hj. Mohd Shukor
Tax Chairman of McMillan Woods National Tax Firm

Tan Sri Datuk Wira Dr. Hj. Mohd Shukor is a towering figure in the Malaysian corporate and fiscal landscape. With a career spanning over 36 years, he is most prominently recognised as the former CEO of the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN), where he led the nation to record-breaking tax collections through transformative leadership and digital innovation.

Since his retirement from public service, Tan Sri has become a cornerstone of the McMillan Woods network, providing high-level strategic oversight and lending his immense credibility to the firm’s tax and advisory divisions.

Strategic Partnership with McMillan Woods

Tan Sri’s relationship with McMillan Woods is multifaceted, acting as both a top-tier leader and a global brand ambassador:

• National Tax Leadership: He currently serves as the Chairman of McMillan Woods National Tax Firm, where he guides the firm’s tax strategies, ensuring they remain at the “forefront of professionalism.”
• The “Eminent Advisor”: He serves on the Team of Eminent Advisors for McMillan Woods Global, working closely with President Dato’ Seri Dr. Raymond Liew to judge and select global award winners.
• Global Recognition: He has been honored by the network with the Visionary Leader of the Year (2014), Lifetime Achievement Award (2013), and Innovative Personality of the Year (2012).

Personal Experience & Legacy

Tan Sri is widely celebrated for his “Human Governance” approach – a leadership philosophy that prioritises the soul and integrity of an organization over mere systems and rules.

• The “Nothing is Impossible” Mentor: Known for his motivational mantra to his staff—”Nothing is impossible and impossible is nothing”—he famously transformed the work culture at LHDN. He introduced flexible working hours, creative dress codes, and even a corporate theme song to boost morale and spark creativity.
• A National Architect of Tax: He is well known for pioneering the Self-Assessment System (SAS) and the ezHasil electronic platform, which modernized how millions of Malaysians interact with the tax office. Under his watch, national tax collection surged from RM110 billion to over RM134 billion.
• From Clerk to CEO: His journey is a classic story of meritocracy. He began his career as a bank officer in 1978 and joined LHDN as an Assessment Officer in 1979, eventually rising through every rank to lead the entire organization.

“Meredah Badai”: His life and leadership style are so influential that they were captured in the biography “Tan Sri Dr. Mohd Shukor Mahfar: Meredah Badai, Memimpin Transformasi” (Weathering the Storm, Leading Transformation), which serves as a guide for aspiring Malaysian leaders.
