Hey guys,
I am a foreigner who's started working in Malaysia since Jan 2008 on Visit pass. But from August 2008, I started a new contract with an Employment pass. However, during 2008, I have left the country here and there for holiday.

During my working period with the visit pass, I have a consecutive 183 days from jan to June 31st with a week at overseas in March.
Starting from August with the employment pass, I was out of the country for about a month in sept, thus no 183 days (no 183 days anyway country aug to dec)

Now that I have got my tax file papers from my employer.
My question is am I qualified as a tax resident even though I was on a visit pass when I have a consecutive 183 days from the first 6 months?? or can the 183 days only be accumulate from august (with an employment pass)???
It's the same job, but before August it was on an temperary baisis, that's why I was given short term countracts with visit pass visa.

If I am not qualified as a resident in 2008, I heard that there is this scheme that can be done backward, because I am accumulating my 183 days since Jan this year, which ends on June 30th.

How do I do that??? I need to fill in this tax thing before end of April, when I still haven't finished my 183 days yet.

there is a section asking if I pay any money to maintain the accomodation provided by my employer.

My employer pays an amount as a rent allowance, but my rent is 750rm more than the allowance(before tax).

Am I eligible to fill in the extra 750rm each month in this bracket??? or it won't be legal?

So now I've registered as premium version, it says under optimization, i have 10 places I could improve my rebate, how do I check where I can optimize my e-filing?

with TAXSAYA, after i click on LOCK on the tax file number, it logs me to the lhdn website, and logs in automatically.

After that, what am I suppose to do?? I try clicking on the button underneath, it gives me an error message in malay which I don't understand.
it says Sila isi jenis taksiran , and Sila isi alamat surat-menyurat

what do i do?

Can anyone help??

And with TAXSAYA...premium version, isn't it suppose to lodge for me??? why is it that after it logs into LHDN, I click around the buttons on the left side, everything is blank...why am i paying for premium then??

WHAT'S KEMBALI???

Once I got to save the PDF of my e-filing submission, does that mean I've already submitted the e-filing???

there was 4 buttons at the bottom of the page, the last one was keluar. I clicked on the 2nd button and got to see my e-filing in PDF form.

So I submitted right???



And at the end, I have paid more tax than I should have. How would I be refunded??? they did ask for my bank account number in the process. Is the tax office going to refund it back into my account?? or post me a check???

On the acknowledgement page, next to the amount paid in excess, there is a flashing red button "e-bayaran", which lead to this page:
http://epayment.hasil.org.my/FPX/one.php


what is this for???

I am wondering where mine is...

What's the max amount you could claim for books???

also, if I am being paid a housing allowances, but my rent is more than the allowances. Can I claim the differences under maintaing accomodation provided by employer?
