MM2H and employment visa tax not paid by employer

Hi, all. Hope someone can guide me
I would be applying for the MM2H when it re-opens in Jan 2021. I had an employment visa for Malaysia from Aug 2017- Aug 2019. I never actually took up the offer. The employer has paid some tax on the visa but I think RM 2381聽聽is pending. The employer says he has paid the entire tax.
I am very confused--and do not wish to face any problems of entry in Malaysia or applying for MM2H in the future.
Will聽 they even grant me a tourist visa with all this pending?
Pl help

I'm equally confused. If you didn't work in Malaysia why would there be any tax at all? Maybe the employer paid the first month in advance or something. They would have submitted for a refund if you did not actually collect a salary...why would they be "behind". Or perhaps these were visa fees?

In any case if it were a tax on uncollected salary then I'm almost certain that would be refunded. If you do not have Malaysian visa stamps for that time frame then you should be clear for MM2H. They will ask for copies of your visa stamps on any new and past passport. If there was no employment visa in your passport they may not even look at that.

Thanks聽 for the reply.
Actually I paid a visit聽 to KL in Sept 2017聽 for stamping of the employment pass. Then聽 they told me to go back to India as the University did not have sufficient enrollments and they would call me when conditions were favourable.
Then in April 2018聽 and Oct 2018 I visited聽 them twice for 4 weeks each time, to help in currciulum development.聽 Airfare and accommodation was provided聽 by them with a total聽 honorarium of RM 5700 for the 8 weeks.
Now their EA form is showing a salary every month聽 of RM 5500 for two years (which I have never聽 recd nor聽 do I have a bank account in Malaysia.聽聽On my repeated pleas, they have paid half the聽 tax due on this but the last part has not been paid.
Nor I think have they聽 cancelled the employment permit.
I am really in a tight spot. I love Malaysia so much I want to spend the remaining years of my life there.
Please, please聽 how do I sort out all this?
Thanks聽 in advance
