What was the outcome here?

I just filed my returns for YA17/18/19 yesterday. Am scared what will happen.

Can somebody please provide input on this?

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5093034

I just filed return for YA 17, 18, 19 yesterday. Taxes deducted via PCB correctly. Tax filing for 2017 to 2019 was done voluntarily (I mean I didn’t kena audit or something).

Will i kena any fine? My honest reason I didn’t file is because I thought deduction via PCB was enough, and I thought the whole filing taxes thing was complicated. Obviously, I was wrong on both counts.

P.S. LHDN eLejar system correctly captures that my taxes were “paid” on each April 30th for past 3 years. This is also via the PCB collections.

Quoting the article:

Starting from Malaysia income tax Year of Assessment 2014 (tax filed in 2015), taxpayers who have been subjected to MTD are not required to file income tax returns if such monthly tax deductions constitute their final tax. However, they should still file if they want to reduce their taxable income through reliefs. This is more a convenience factor to allow those who did not file to not have negative records.

Where is the proof that says taxpayers don’t need to file income tax if there is monthly PCB deduction done (which is what I understand the above paragraph is implying)?

Given the above, I should then be safe?

Tomorrow as in 9am, or tomorrow as in 12.01am?

Can't login 😅

Just design change a bit. All the details still there lah!

Btw how to check submission number? I too submitted!

Mine no refund. No taksiran yet. I filed at sharp 12.10am Sunday midnight, Monday early morning.

How to check disifatkan status?

I submitted at 12.30am on 1st March but still no refund. Tarikh disifatkan is 6 March 2021.

Mine also zero today. Means repayment will be made either tomorrow or the day after.

Was the 2019 tax paid via PCB? Is there a refund amount? Is the refund more than RM200?

If yes to all, you don’t need to do anything.

Received refund this evening

Around RM750 (if you are in the higher brackets).

I believe MRTA is NOT ELIGIBLE for the tax relief.

On the LHDN website, the following is stated:

-----

Lifestyle – Expenses for the use / benefit of self, spouse or child in respect of:

purchase and subscription of books / journals / magazines / newspapers (including electronic subscription) / other similar publications (Not banned reading materials)
purchase of personal computer, smartphone or tablet (Not for business use)
purchase of sports equipment for sports activity defined under the Sports Development Act 1997 and payment of gym membership
payment of monthly bill for internet subscription (Under own name)

If wife buys a phone, but the husband pays for it (say, using husband's credit card), yet the phone is purchased under wife's own name due to existing line with telco, can the husband claim for tax relief?

I believe the separate rm2.5k tax relief exists for both this year and next year.

Due to there being sublines under existing line. Don't want to kacau anything

F8(ii) Pembelian komputer peribadi, telefon pintar atau tablet
Perbelanjaan bagi pembelian komputer peribadi, telefon pintar (smartphone) atau tablet [TIDAK termasuk caj tambahan jaminan (warranty)] untuk kegunaan diri sendiri, pasangan atau anak, dan BUKAN digunakan untuk tujuan perniagaan.

---------

For the above, if husband and wife separate filing, but the husband buys the phone for the wife, however the invoice is addressed to the wife as it was a upfront purchase under her contract (i.e. Maxis), would the husband be qualified to claim tax relief under his filing? Of course, in that scenario, the wife would not claim.

The wording is ambiguous as it does not say the purchase has to be under own name, just that the purchase has to be for the self or family usage.

Hope this can be clarified.

Thanks!

Yes, of course can. Can add up with multiple items purchased, as long as all in is RM5k

Hi folks,

If I have to pay tax of RM1,000 for YA 2021, can I pay RM500 this month and a remainder RM500 in April? Or must I do it in one go?
