How to File Your Income Tax (Houseman)

1. Log in to e-Penyata Gaji to download your Penyata Pendapatan Tahunan. After logging in, click "Penyata Pendapatan Tahunan" on the left column, and download the file "EC DEC 201_".

If this is your first time filing your income tax, you will first have to register for an income tax number:
2. Go to LHDN website. Move your cursor to ezHASiL on the top row and choose e-Daftar in the dropdown menu.
3. Download Panduan Mengisi Borang and Panduan Muat Naik Dokumen on the left column and read those instructions.
4. Follow the instructions on the e-Daftar webpage and fill up your personal information in the borang pendaftaran online.

• No. Majikan KKM is E292072802
• Then you have to upload the front of your IC through one of the following methods:
• By email: edaftar@hasil.gov.my
• By fax: 03-42894020, 03-42894080, 03-42893737
• By the file uploader on the website (but this is tricky since you need to upload a .GIF file with the specific size of 40-60Kb)
• This is how I did it:
• I cropped off the empty portions of my scanned file around my IC using Windows Live Photo Gallery's Edit option.
• I downloaded GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) from the Internet (just search in Google).
• I opened the image file in GIMP, clicked "Image"-->"Scale Image..." on the top row.
• I scaled down the image to a smaller arbitrary value, saved the file as ".GIF" and checked the file size of the saved file.
• I repeated the above step until I obtained a file with the size of 40-60Kb.
• (Is there an easier way? I don't think a lay person is expected to know this!)

5. Wait 3 days then go to Semak Status Individu to track your application process. Your Tax Reference No. will be provided in the form of SG xxxxxxxxxxxx (2 alphabets + 12 digits). Your e-Filing PIN No. will also be provided in the form of xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (16 digits). (Initially they did not provide me with the e-Filing PIN No. so I emailed them to request for one, and then it was provided a few days later on the same webpage.)

6. Go to LHDN website. Move your cursor to ezHASiL on the top row and choose e-Filing in the dropdown menu. Change the language to ENGLISH at the top right corner if you need to.
7. On the left column on the e-Filing website, click First Time Login. Key in your e-Filing PIN No.
8. After that, just follow all the instructions. They are fairly straightforward. Of note:
9. Penggajian on your e-BE form = Jumlah Gaji, Bayaran and Elaun-elaun on your Penyata Pendapatan Tahunan
10. Remember to include the following amounts in the relevent areas on your e-BE form:
Potongan Cukai Pendapatan on your Penyata Pendapatan Tahunan,
and Caruman kepada KWSP on your Penyata Pendapatan Tahunan,
so that you do not pay extra.
11. For your information, these are the current Income Tax Rates.
