Well, anyone who makes an annual employment income of RM 34,000 after deducting one’s EPF contributions needs to file and pay their taxes.
Both Malaysian citizens and foreigners with residential or non-resident status are required to pay income tax.
If you pay your income tax for the first time and want to know more about it, check out this explainer by Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN) official website, HERE.
So, what information should I update to avoid the fine?
if you do not update your latest mailing address through e-kemaskini after moving, you will face a fine of RM200 to RM20,000!
Many taxpayers think that after filling in the new home address on the tax form (Form BE/B), LHDN will update the system information by itself…
