Do I need to register if I'm employed and my employer already deducts tax (PCB)?

Yes. Even if your employer deducts monthly tax via PCB (Potongan Cukai Berjadual), you still need to register on MyTax and file Form BE annually. Filing lets you claim reliefs (like EPF, lifestyle, insurance) that can reduce your total tax or generate a refund. Deadline: April 30 for Form BE (salaried employees).

What is a TIN number (Tax Identification Number)?

Your TIN is your unique LHDN tax ID. For Malaysian individual taxpayers it starts with 'SG' (salaried) or 'OG' (self-employed/business income). It's printed on your tax assessment letters and visible in MyTax once registered. You'll need it for filing, refunds, and correspondence with LHDN.

I already have an ezHASiL account — do I need to re-register?

No. Your existing IC number and password from ezHASiL work on MyTax. Just go to mytax.hasil.gov.my and log in as normal. If you've forgotten your password, use the 'Lupa Kata Laluan' (Forgot Password) link to reset via OTP.

I got an error saying my IC number is already registered — what do I do?

This means a MyTax/ezHASiL account already exists for your IC. Try logging in with your IC number and last-used password. If you've forgotten the password, click 'Lupa Kata Laluan' on the login page and reset via mobile OTP. If your mobile number has changed, call LHDN at 03-8911 1000 for manual identity verification.

I'm a non-citizen (foreigner working in Malaysia) — can I register?

Yes. Select 'Passport' as your identification type during registration and enter your passport number. You'll receive a TIN starting with 'OG'. Note: if you're employed, check with your HR whether your employer has already registered you — many companies register foreign employees automatically when applying for a work permit.

My IC information on LHDN doesn't match — what should I do?

Visit the nearest LHDN branch with your MyKad and a copy of it. Request a data update (Kemaskini Data). Bring supporting documents if your name changed (e.g., marriage certificate). This cannot be done online — in-person verification is required for IC data corrections.

Already used ezHASiL? Your old login still works on MyTax — you don't need to re-register. Go to mytax.hasil.gov.my and log in with your IC and existing password. Skip to Step 6 below to check your TIN.

Step-by-Step: Register on MyTax

Open the MyTax portal Go to mytax.hasil.gov.my — this is the official LHDN portal. Bookmark it. Do not use ezHASiL.hasil.gov.my — it now redirects to MyTax anyway, but use the direct URL to avoid confusion.
Click "Daftar" (Register) On the login page, look for the "Daftar" or "Register" link below the login form. Select your identification type: MyKad if you're a Malaysian citizen or PR, or Pasport if you're a foreign national.
Fill in your personal details Enter your 12-digit IC number (no dashes), full name exactly as shown on your IC, date of birth, mobile phone number (e.g., 0123456789), and email address. Double-check for typos — your mobile number must be correct for the OTP.
Enter the OTP sent to your mobile LHDN will SMS a 6-digit One-Time Password (OTP) to the mobile number you entered. Enter it within 5 minutes. If you don't receive it, check that your number is correct and tap "Hantar Semula" (Resend).
Set your password Create a password of at least 8 characters containing a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Do not use your IC number or date of birth as your password. Store it in a password manager — you'll need it every tax season.
Note your Tax Identification Number (TIN) After successful registration, MyTax will display your TIN (Nombor Pengenalan Cukai). For salaried employees it starts with SG (e.g., SG 12345678901), for self-employed / business income it starts with OG. Screenshot or write this down — you'll need it on every LHDN form and letter.
Log in and complete your profile Log in immediately with your IC number and new password. Go to MyProfile → Maklumat Bank and add your bank account number. This is where LHDN will credit any tax refund. Without it, you may receive a cheque (slower) or no refund at all.

Registration complete! You're now ready to file your income tax return. Go to e-Filing → Hantar Borang to begin your Form BE (salaried) or Form B (self-employed/mixed income).

Forgot Password or Locked Out?

Click "Lupa Kata Laluan" on the login page On the MyTax login screen, click the "Lupa Kata Laluan" (Forgot Password) link below the login button.

Understanding Your TIN (Tax Identification Number)

TIN Prefix	Who It's For	Example
SG	Salaried employee (income from employment only)	SG 12345678901
OG	Self-employed, freelancer, or mixed income (business + employment)	OG 98765432100
C	Company / Sdn Bhd	C 12345678
F	Non-resident individual	F 55544433322

Which form should I file? SG taxpayers file Form BE (deadline April 30). OG taxpayers file Form B (deadline June 30). If you're an employee with side income (freelance, rental), your TIN may be OG — check MyTax profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MyTax and how is it different from ezHASiL?

MyTax (mytax.hasil.gov.my) is the LHDN portal launched in 2021, replacing the old ezHASiL system. It has the same tax filing functions (e-Filing, Form BE/B) but with a refreshed interface. If you had an ezHASiL account, your credentials still work — just go to mytax.hasil.gov.my.

Do I need to register even if my employer already deducts PCB tax?

Yes. PCB (Potongan Cukai Berjadual) is only a monthly withholding estimate — it may not match your actual tax liability. You must file Form BE by April 30 to claim reliefs (EPF, lifestyle, insurance) that can reduce your tax or generate a refund. Filing is mandatory once your income exceeds RM34,000/year (after EPF deduction).

I got an error saying my IC is already registered — what do I do?

This means a MyTax account already exists. Try logging in with your IC and your last-known password. If you've forgotten it, use "Lupa Kata Laluan" on the login page. If your mobile number has changed, call LHDN at 03-8911 1000 for help.

I'm a foreigner working in Malaysia — can I register on MyTax?

Yes. Select "Pasport" as your identification type and enter your passport number. You'll get an OG-prefix TIN. Check with your HR first — many employers register foreign employees automatically when applying for employment passes.

My IC details on LHDN are wrong — how do I fix them?

Visit the nearest LHDN branch with your original MyKad and a photocopy. Request a "Kemaskini Data" (data update). Bring supporting documents (e.g., marriage certificate if your name changed). IC data corrections cannot be done online.

What is my TIN and where do I find it?

Your TIN (Tax Identification Number) is your unique LHDN ID — it starts with SG (salaried) or OG (self-employed). It's shown on screen right after you register, and is also visible in MyTax under MyProfile. It's also printed on any LHDN tax assessment letters you've received.

Why should I add my bank account in MyTax?

If you're entitled to a tax refund (bayaran balik), LHDN needs your bank account to credit you directly. Without it, they may issue a cheque (takes weeks) or the refund may be delayed. Add it under MyProfile → Maklumat Bank immediately after registering. Eligible banks include Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, RHB, Hong Leong, and most local banks.
