As mentioned, if your annual chargeable income is less than 20k which is not taxable, are you required to submit your EA form? Do you even need to open an Income Tax account if your income is this little?

I think so. Still need to declare income. But as income is below the limit, no need to pay tax.

just do e-filling and calculate in the end amount to pay is 0.

makes your life easier when your income increase to taxable amount.

Yeah do it. Sometimes your Company deducts a certain portion for tax, you can claim it back.

1. if you opened a file with LHDN already, you are required to submit whether or not you are in the taxable bracket.

2. if your income per year is less than RM30k (take home pay of more than Rm2.5 k per month), no need to open account with LHDN, bcause then you will have the birokrasi and hassle of having to fill up the e-filing every year.

on the pro side, if should you get into the taxable income bracket later on, at least your account is there already.

Also alot easier for your employer to do PCB (potongan cukai berjadual), every month they deduct a bit from your pay to cover the income tax...

this

but if u r working, ur HR wont register LHDN for u. they'll do oni if ur sarary is taxable.

Yes. If jobless send back empty form.

cause they are lazy

requote for helpful post.

joe's not as helpful so no repost

Coz current company, in there for about 3 mths ledi, no give me any EA form or register me to LHDN. Even previous company where I quit in January, didn't give me EA form, that's why I wonder, if I don't do it, is it illegal?
