Ever since the announcement of LHDN’s e-filing system, many taxpayers are encouraged to adapt and transition into the modern way instead of continuing the old-school paper method of tax filing. The whole process of e-filing your tax can look complicated and feel intimidating, especially for first timers.
The tax filing season for Malaysians just kickstarted on 1st of March 2024!
As opposed to the traditional income tax filing, where we must manually calculate and fill in a printed set of papers, the e-Filing system automatically computes it for us. Taxpayers can now submit their income tax the LHDN e-Filing system on the 1st of March every year unless announced by LHDN (let’s connect to stay informed!).
If you meet the criteria of a tax resident in Malaysia, it’s time to file your income tax with LHDN.
Here are some simple steps to guide you through the process of e-filing for Form BE (Individuals Without Business):
1. Logging in...First time? Register.
Visit the MyTax website (https://mytax.hasil.gov.my/) and log into your account. For registration, click “e-Daftar”.
2. Your Tax Information.
After logging in, the “Your Tax Information” page will show up. Choose “2023 e-Borang BE belum dihantar” and then “Klik Disini Untuk Pengisian Dan Penghantaran”.
3. The e-Borang page.
You will then proceed to the “e-Borang” page. You can select “e-BE Tiada Punca Pendapatan Perniagaan” and then choose “Tahun Taksiran 2023″ from the drop-down menu.
4. Update your profile.
You will be brought to the “Profil Individu” page (enable allow for pop-ups in your browser if this page does not show up). Update your profile details then click “Seterusnya”.
