Not sure which form? If your income is entirely from employment (salary, bonus, allowances) and you do not run a business or earn freelance income, you file Form BE. If you have any business income — including freelance work, Grab/Foodpanda earnings, or income from a sole proprietorship — you file Form B.
How to File on MyTax — Step by Step
Filing takes 1–2 hours if all your documents are ready. Do it in one sitting to avoid losing your progress.
-
Log in at mytax.hasil.gov.my
Use your TIN (Tax Identification Number) and MyTax password. If this is your first time, see our MyTax Registration Guide — registration takes 15 minutes with your IC and mobile number.
-
Select e-Filing → e-BE (or e-B for business income)
Under the "e-Filing" menu, select your assessment year (YA 2025) and the correct form type. The system will pre-fill fields it knows — check these carefully, especially your employer's CP8D data.
-
Verify and enter your income
Part C: employment income from Form EA. Part D: other income (dividends, rental, etc.). Part G: gross business income if filing e-B. Verify the pre-filled PCB (monthly deductions) total matches your Form EA.
-
Enter all reliefs in Part H
Work through each relief category systematically. Don't skip — many people miss lifestyle, SSPN, or education relief. Every RM1,000 of additional relief reduces your tax by RM190–RM280 depending on your bracket.
-
Review your chargeable income and tax payable
The system calculates automatically. If you see a "balance payable", you owe tax. If it shows "lebihan bayaran balik" (refund), you overpaid PCB and will receive a refund. Double-check the tax bracket applied.
-
Pay any balance due (or submit with refund)
Pay via FPX (online banking), credit/debit card, or JomPAY (bill code: 30001). Payment must be made by April 30 for Form BE. Then click "Hantar" (Submit) to complete your return.
-
Save your acknowledgement slip
LHDN will display a submission receipt with a reference number. Download and save it as PDF — this is your proof of filing. Also note your refund status if applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I miss the April 30 deadline?
Late filing attracts a fine of RM200 to RM20,000 and/or up to 6 months imprisonment. In practice, LHDN typically issues a penalty notice with a 30-day grace period to pay. Filing late is still better than not filing — the penalty compounds if you don't respond. Call LHDN at 1800-88-5436 if you receive a penalty notice.
I'm a freelancer/Grab driver — should I file Form BE or Form B?
File Form B (e-B). Any income from self-employment, gig work, freelance projects, or business activity requires Form B. Form BE is strictly for salaried employees with no business income whatsoever. Form B deadline is June 30, giving you 2 extra months.
Do I need to file if I'm below the taxable income threshold?
You must register and file if your annual income exceeds RM34,000 (after EPF deduction). Even if you owe zero tax, filing is required. If your gross income is below RM34,000 after EPF, you are generally not required to file, but registering is still recommended to build a tax history.
How do I check my tax refund status?
Log in to MyTax → e-Filing → Check Refund Status. LHDN typically processes refunds within 30 working days of submission. Ensure your bank account number is registered in MyTax under "Maklumat Akaun Bank" — otherwise the refund cannot be processed.
Can I amend my return after submitting?
Yes. Log in to MyTax → e-Filing → Pindaan (Amendment). You can amend a return within the same assessment year. After the year ends, amendments must be requested in writing within 5 years. Note: amending to add income can trigger interest charges; amending to add relief typically results in a refund.
My employer deducts PCB every month — do I still need to file?
Yes, unless LHDN's MTD (Monthly Tax Deduction) scheme has declared you exempt. Most employees still need to file Form BE because PCB is an estimate — your actual tax may be higher or lower once all reliefs are applied. Filing ensures you get any overpaid PCB refunded.
What is the MyTax portal URL?
The official portal is mytax.hasil.gov.my — this replaced the old ezHASiL portal. If you have bookmarked ezhasil.hasil.gov.my, it redirects to MyTax. Only use the official .gov.my domain — beware of phishing sites.
