But you try submitting your tax under tax resident (e-BE form). Please note that you can ONLY submit and claim for your tax refund for 2020 in year 2021. After submitting your tax, you can contact the income tax office to inquire about the status. They might ask you to submit a few documents. Make sure you keep all your EA forms, pay slips and passports. I am not sure about the process of leaving Malaysia. I believe you can just leave.Elin Chowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736926044647058319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786311366291918167.post-82342902116123787692020-07-14T09:31:31.527-07:002020-07-14T09:31:31.527-07:00Hi, please suggest me on how to get the tax return...Hi, please suggest me on how to get the tax returns.

I used the feedback form and received a feedback that requested me to submit additional documents which I did promptly but to this date, I am yet to receive a dime of my refund. Several attempts to call the Cheras office where I have submitted the documents have proved to be abortive. All calls to extensions of the officers supposedly to assist in this regard have gone unanswered.<br />It's really sad that internationals would have to go through this ordeal to get their monies refunded to them. One troubling thing about Malaysians, they don't care so far as it is not affecting them. With the flooding of complaints from internationals on this issue, one would expect an effort from the government doing something to correct this anomaly or the media carrying this but you're not going to see any.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786311366291918167.post-29535061622748482712017-07-13T00:32:00.348-07:002017-07-13T00:32:00.348-07:00Hi Elin,

If we submitted our Tax Filing via eFiling, we should have received much much earlier than we expected. If eFiling is not useful for faster rebate, then launching this for what? This organisation is irresponsible and unreliable. They are asking for paying tax like ah long, but refund us the rebate like tortoise.
