Is there any guide anywhere for any beginners regarding this Income Tax thing? Total noob here regarding this and any information might help. I began working at 2007 and obtain a Income Tax Number from my company who register for me. Question here is :

1) Do i need to fill in anything for the year (2007) cause i never did anything due to i dont know what to do. And besides, whats the range of salary for a person to be taxable? If i did not hit the taxable range on that particular year, do i still need to register or something?

2) Received a BE form a few weeks ago and what shall i do with it? Any guidelines would be good smile.gif

3) Regarding e-Filling that i had been looking while browsing through this thread, is it possible to apply any way else except going to LHDN office? And do their office opens on weekends?

Sorry for all the noobish question. Never been into this before. smile.gif

1) By right, you should receive BE 2007 last year, if your employer have been deducting PCB/STD from your monthly salary. For your employer to start deducting your salary for Income Tax, you're earning at least RM2,500 a month, for a person who's single. If you happen to be not taxable for that year, but you are previously taxable, you still have to fill your form and declare your income. Once you're registered with the LHDN, you have the obligation to submit and declare your income.

2/3) If you're too lazy to go to the office, go do submission via e-filing. They have just opened their B/BE 2008 e-filing server. If you're a first time user, do a first time login and key in the pin you have in the form you received and register yourself an e-filing account. Filling the online form is pretty self explanatory. Just fill it accordingly based on your EA form.

Thanks for the info there.

Questions again.

1) Regarding the BE 2007, my employer did deduct on one month of my salary. That speaking, my salary does not reach RM2,500 but at a particular month, i am given an allowance claim which incidentally, made it over RM2,500. Does that mean i still need to declare my BE2007? If i have not declare yet, what shall i do at this point? Will i be fined?

2) Thanks for the tip on the e-filling. Will definitely look into that. Anyway, does LHDN office opens on weekends and until what time? Is there any office nearby KL area?

3) And i would like to know, how much will i be charged for income tax for a specific amount of salary obtained? Is there any chart stating how much will be charged for a certain amount of salary?

Thanks..

1) BE2007 submission is closed already. I'd suggest you to just declare the BE2008 for the last year submission and then there shall be 'back years income undeclared' column. Just fill that in and let me know what happens.  tongue.gif

2) LHDN offices are available at their website: HERE

3) Check at the LHDN website and you can get the tax schedule. Or you can download a calculator from my site, the tax schedule is also included. Cheers.

if you did e-filing the year before, you will also not be sent the physical forms anymore.
