Hi guys, year 2021 was my 1st year my income is taxable. PCB monthly is deducted every month according to payslip but i have not done efiling for that year 2021.

Will I kena denda or chase or anything?

you can file for previous year section for 2022 filing

Give LHDN a call. They're very friendly with taxpayer.

Yes eventually if you continue never file your tax. Keep in mind you won't get anything back from govt already is you are late to file your tax. You might be needed to pay more if amount tax is supposed to be more than what's taxable.

Oh really? I think will do that later next month

Sure, will ask them.

Got it. I wonder what is the circumstances that you might actually need to pay more? I see that most of thr time people do efiling and get back some money.

If you are doing extra part time or own business.

Don’t delay the missed filing year. There would be a small fine if any. But not that significant in early stage. There was one year I was 6 months late in filing, and still get refund.

I think for people with PCB, the fine would not be as harsh as people who pay tax after filing.

No denda if you have not underpaid via PCB. I also have pcb deduction since 2017 but only filed first time ever in 2020. I filed for the previous years in 2020, I got tax refunds in fact! LHDN gave me back money as the pcb deduction was more than what I was required to pay.

However, if your pcb deduction is below your actual tax payable, you will kena denda. Example pcb deduction RM1k but actual payable is rm1.1k. You will have to pay back the rm100 difference together with some penalties (not sure of the specific of the penalty, but it’s only on the amount of difference).

Edit: Also, if you same employer during the year annd no other source of income, and pay via pcb, you DO NOT need to file your taxes. You can, but not required. You should anyway since you will get refund.

U need to call lhdn or go to their office .
Will probably get fined

Yes u can declare undeclared income from previous years, small issue.

A bit of mixed opinion from the comments, similar mixed answers from people I know that I asked in real life.

but I suppose I trust reply #8 the most as the guy includes a very legit reference.

Thanks everyone.

Can people declare once every few years then?

There is no deduction for previous year, you can submit undeclared income only, not deductibles. You are exposed to penalties as well.

Hey guys, does this mean as long as I pay my tax before April next year, I won't be charge any penalty for late payment?

2024 income tax need to pay by Apr 2025.

Well, it is your duty to report your tax, and you may lose refund or you may need to pay more, depending on your contributions and deduction. Start to submit now and be prepared to be fined. A fine and or a call to provide more information might happen.
