How To Do e-Filing For Income Tax Return In Malaysia

By Elin Chow - Thursday, March 26, 2015


The easiest, quickest and most hassle-free way to submit income tax return form (ITRF) is via e-filing. Normally, taxpayers can start to e-file their ITRF for previous tax assessment from 1st of March.

Below is a simple guide on how to e-file your income tax return form via the internet.


#1. Tax Reference Number

For first-time user, you may register for a Malaysian Tax reference number online via e-Dafter . Once you are on the e-Dafter page, click on Pendaftaran Individu (for individual income tax submission) > Borang Pendaftaran Online. For Company, please select Pendarftaran Syarikat instead.


Follow these 2 simple steps to complete your registration online.

1. Fill up all required field on the online registration form

2. Upload a copy of your Malaysian identification card (MyKad) or international passport together with the application.

Things to note: 

1. Only GIF Format with size ranging from 40KB to 60KB will be accepted. 

2. File name must be in alphanumeric (A-Z, 0-9)

3. Only front size showing the name and identification card number (or passport number) of the applicant is required.

Please note that e-Dafter application will automatically be cancelled if no complete document is submitted within 14 days of the application

Alternatively, you may also visit and submit your application at the nearest Inland Revenue Board Malaysia (IRBM) (also known as Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia) branch.  Remember to bring along your Malaysian identification card (MyKad) or international passport for verification purpose.

An application number will show on the screen after you had submitted the online registration form. You may check your application status online by using the application number given after the online registration form is submitted.



In case you did not have the time to check,  you will also receive an email from e-Daftar LHDN with your tax reference number. Your tax reference number should start with "SG" "IG" followed by 11 digits at the back (Eg. SG IG 23001234567).

#2. Request e-Filling PIN Number 

In order to use the online system, you will need a PIN number to log in for the first time. To request for an e-filling PIN number, go to ezHasil. Once you are on the ezHasil page, click on Permohonan No. PIN (Application No. PIN).


For application, you will need to fill in the following details on the online application form.

1. Malaysian identification number or international passport number

2. Your tax reference number which you have obtained previously

3. Your permanent and valid email address. Please make sure you have typed in the address correctly as you will receive your PIN number via email.

Alternatively, you may also visit and apply for a PIN number at the nearest Inland Revenue Board Malaysia (IRBM) (also known as Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia) branch.  

Unfortunately, starting from this year, the e-Filling PIN application has to be made personally at any at any nearest Inland Revenue Board Malaysia (IRBM) (also known as Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia) branch or via the Online Feedback Form. Application made through the Online Feedback Form must be attached with the following documents:

1. Scanned copy of Malaysian identification card or international passport 
2. Enclosed completed CP600B form to update email address if the applicant email is different from the email address that has been registered with IRBM previously.

To apply at any nearest IRBM offices, please bring along your

1. Malaysian identification card or international passport 

2. Your tax reference number that you have obtained previously

For your information, individual who has obtained their tax file using e-Dafter can also check their e-Filling PIN number using the e-Dafter application number 3 days after you get your tax file number.

However, for tax payers staying outside of Malaysia, application for e-Filling PIN can be made via the Online Feedback Form. It will take about 10 days for your application to be processed. Please apply early to avoid any delays.

The process of applying a PIN number has been greatly simplify. You can easily get your PIN number online without the need to visit the IRBM personally. I have shared about the process in another post. 

If you are a foreigner who has recently renewed your passport, you might encountered some problem (digital certificate not exist) when you tried to log into your account. Do check out my post where I shared about the process of applying the digital certificate. The process is actually similar to the process of applying an e-PIN number for first time login. 

For first-time user ONLY, proceed back to ezHasil page and click on Login Kali Pertama (Login First Time). This is not required for recurring user. 

You will be required to fill in the following details in that page.

1. Enter your PIN number, Malaysian identification card number or international passport number, tax reference number and name as per required.

2. Supply a password for you to login to your e-form later on.

#3. How e-File Income Tax Return Form

Proceed back to ezHasil page and enter your Malaysian identification card number or international passport number and password under the Log Masuk (Sign In) box. Once you logged in, make sure you double check your personal details displayed on the home screen before you proceed to e-file your Income Tax Return Form. After you have confirmed all the details displayed on that page are correct, click on e-Filling > e-Borang from the light blue menu located on the left of the screen.


Select the form that is applicable to you from the 7 forms displayed on the screen.

1. e-BE - For individual without business source. The due date for submission of the e-BE form is on or before 30th April every year.

2. EB - For individual with business source. The due date for submission of the EB form is on or before 30th June every year.

3. eM - For a non-resident individual without business source. The due date for submission of the e-BE form is on or before 30th April every year.

4. e-MT - For a non-resident individual with business source. The due date for submission of the e-BE form is on or before 30th June every year.

5. eP - For partnership



Fill in all the required details in the Income Tax Return Form, which is divided in 6 different sections.

1. Maklumat Individu (Personal Particulars)
2. Maklumat Isteri (Spouse Information)


3. Pendapatan Berkanun & Jumlah Pendapatan (Statutory Income & Total 
    Income) which includes income from:
   - Employment (You should be able to get this figure from the EA Form which your
      employer prepared for you)
    - Dividends
    - Rents
    - Interests, discounts, royalties, premiums, pensions, annuities, periodical payments
      and other gains or profits

4. Tuntutan Pelepasan (Deductions)

5. Tuntutan Rebat / Tolakan Cukai / Pelepasan Cukai (Tax Rebate / 
    Deductions / Relief)


 6. Rumusan Cukai (Tax Summary)

The last part of e-filing is the Tax Summary, which basically shows your total income less total relief, total chargeable income and actual tax payable for the year. 

Please check through all the details on the Tax Summary thoroughly and click on the Simpan & Teruskan (Save & Continue) button located at the bottom of the page to submit the Form. For record purpose, remember to save a copy of the submitted tax form by clicking on Simpan & Cetak e-BE.

 For individuals who are required to file your personal income tax in Malaysia, you may be interested to know more about my experience on how I finally managed to get my Tax refunds for Year 2014 and 2015. I believe this post will be especially useful for non-citizens who are tax resident in Malaysia.

    Beginner here.
    The date I applied income tax references: 25 Sept 2015 (manually at Jalan Duta Branch)
    The date I will start work: 29 Sept 2015 (the job consider as my first job)

    I applied before I start work. Which means I have no income yet when I applied for income tax reference, and my monthly salary will be RM 2,500 (not yet deduct EPF).
    In such conditions, I am still able to apply for the income tax reference (SG "11digits"). I juz wrote the company name that I will work for and start date on the form, and provide my IC photocopy. (1) Is this right procedure?

    (2) Since I already applied income tax references, which means now I have to do filing or declare my salary every year even my salary is not taxable?

    I felt so odd now, as all my friends have not yet apply, and told me that apply when u hav about RM 3,000. I apply for income tax reference number bcoz my company ask for income tax number.
    Appreciate someone can answer this.

      Scroll down from your application number, and click on Muat Naik Disini to upload a copy of your identity card. You have 14 days to upload it, and your identity card must fulfil the following requirements:

      Just scan the front of your identity card showing your name and I.C. number clearly
      File must be in .gif format
      File size must be between 40k and 60k
      File name must be in alphanumeric only

      Once you’ve uploaded your identity card, all you have to do is to wait for the confirmation from LHDN with your PIN to create an account for e-Filing. This usually happens within a week.

    Question: What if we renew our passport and the passport number will be change from the previous one? What is the process? As for us foreigners, our passport is renewal every 5 years and the passport number from the old passport is not retainable, so meaning, we will not carry anymore the old passport number, the new issued passport will be bearing a new passport number upon renewal. Remember that we log-in using our passport number, so my questions, once we renew, we will carrying a new passport number, so our log-in username should be change to the new passport number? how?

      On one hand your work permit or expatriate pass will expire before your passport expiry, on the other hand, you will still have to update the relevant offices on the changes (including the banks). So far I stick to e-Filing at their computer in their office, so someone will me more than happy to assist you.

      Otherwise, when you leave the country you may have to make additional documentation on the series of changes with your passport.

    Hi I'm trying to do tax for me and my wife. I have a few relatively simple questions:

    - my wife earns a salary at a large firm and has an EA form, but
    - we also set up a small company(sole trader) in her name for me to invoice for some consulting work
    - so we have income from that company (in her name) that is paid to me 100% as salary

    1. Which form do I fill in for each of us?


    When I look at the deduction page there are maximum amounts for certain line items.

    2. Do these deductions require supporting documentation in the case of an audit?

    3. My wife has a fixed income tax rate due to a TalentCorp program. Do we need to show this somewhere on the forms or does it get calculated automatically by HASIL when we hit "submit"?

    Hi All, Has anyone of you heard that to Submit Borang E Yr2016, has to submit through e-filing? The strange part is that, in order to submit the Borang E, have to use personal e-filing to log in, in order to submit the Borang E.

      Hi,

      It doesn't matter because your annual income of RM 12,000 are not taxable. You are only required to file for tax if your annual income is above RM 34,000

    Hi Elin,

    Thanks for the write up, it's really helpful for people like me who do not speak malay.

    I have a quick question though, my previous company (just finished contract) is being difficult about EA form and I need it quite urgently as I am applying for a work permit with a new company. Is this absolutely necessary for e-filing? I'm going to LHDN later today to get a pin but I am just double checking in case we get lost in translation when I ask them :D

    Thanks in advance!

      Hi,

      Yes, you will need your EA form to file your taxes. This will act as a supporting document for your income. I believe it is a law for your company to provide you the EA form.

    i have submitted e-data Praisi before 22.2.2017 after checking with LHDN. However, the officer who attended to me said just key in the actual income. As long as the EA contains all the info on BIK for the employee to file his Form BE, then it is ok.

    But in e Form E 2016, the gross salary includes all BIK even though the BIK has to be key in again.

    I have completed and submitted the form E, felt uncomfortable. Should I amend? Thanks.

    Hi Elin,

    I have 2 EA forms and when filing the returns I am adding up both the EA form total income , however I could find only my first EA form tax paid reflecting in the hasil , the other EA form tax paid is not reflecting which leads me to pay the tax in excess.However in actual I have to get returns from the hasil.

    Could you please let me know how to resolve this issue ..plz !!

    Hi Elin,

    Do you have any information how to file tax if you have had 2 employers in 1 year? Reason I ask is because I worked for company #1 from January to March and then my department closed so I had to move to another Company #2. I worked for company #2 from April to December.

    Any information will be appreciated

      Hi,

      You will need to obtain two EA forms from two companies and add up your total income.

    Hello,

    I submitted my income tax using e-b form, because I thought I already had 182 days asn a resident, since I started to stay in KL July 31 up to present. And I was told that I am not yet a resident because I didn't make the 182 days in 2016. What should I do? because I believe I should be using e-m form.

      Hi,

      Yes, it is true that you are not a tax resident in 2016. From 31st July 2016 - 31st December 2016, it is not 182 days. I am not sure what you should do. You might want to check with LHDN.

    Hi .. I am trying to file for YA 2016 and this is my 1st online filing (E-BE).

    My annual income gross is over RM50k since 2013 (before that I had a lower non taxable salary).

    I did not file for YA 2013, 2014 and 2015.

    I have my EA form YA 2016 but I think I might have lost my EA form for 2013 to 2015.

    So under "Income Of Preceding Years Not Declared", what should I say? If I filled in this part for YA 2013 to 2015, will I be fined for late submission? Or should I just leave it blank?

    I have been working for the same company since 2013 and they deduct PCB from my salary on a monthly basis as usual.
