e-Form submissions can be made via e-Filing through the MyTax portal at https://mytax.hasil.gov.my or through the official website at https://www.hasil.gov.my > MyTax > Perkhidmatan ezHasil > e-Filing.

IRB also reminded taxpayers not to delay and to fulfill their responsibility in accurately reporting all income received via the e-Form and to make the required tax payments within the stipulated period to avoid penalties for late submission, tax increases and legal action.

Taxpayers are also advised to provide complete and up-to-date personal and banking information to ensure a smooth tax refund process.

The IRB emphasised that failure to submit the Income Tax Return Form and to report actual income within the stipulated period may result in enforcement action under the provisions of the Income Tax Act (ITA) 1967.

Under Section 112(1) of the ITA, failure to submit tax return forms or to declare chargeable income may result in a fine of between RM200 and RM20,000, imprisonment for up to six months, or both.

Additionally, taxpayers who submit the forms after the deadline may face a 10 percent increase on the payable tax, as per Section 103(3) of the ITA.
