It seems like their servers are all jammed up again this year. Feeling regret for not submitting earlier. ANyway, not sure if you guys heard that recently the LHDN has been very active to check on those who tried to claim back overpaid taxes especially Chinese. I felt that this is very wrong and evil just because the government has ran out of money. WHy only target Chinese? Is it that most tax payers are Chinese while the so-called Bumis are tax evaders? Adding to that, the recent Sukuk(BNM bond), ASM & ASW are just tools used by the government to reap money from the Chinese to fund the 6 billion mini budget.

For those doesn't touch the RM2500 range, filing tax mean LHDN must pay you some rebate. Not much, but better than not filing tax. 2. Self-employed people suppose to pay less tax, if they spend time to do tax planning. 3. Malaysia tax is NOT cheap compare to 1st world, when you check out the effectiveness of tax spending. 1.

I.e, if you receive RM1,000 for 2007 bonus in January 2008, you should report that RM1000 plus your full year earnings in 2008. I believe many employers (incl mine), still seperate the 2 payments. Hence, our EA forms would have "RM10,000" for full year salary, and at the bottom part would have "RM1,000 untuk bayaran bagi tahun tahun lepas). The problem with following this ea form format is that on E-filing, the system does not calculate tax on your bonus. Hence, it may seem that you overpaid in your monthly pcb payments (which is lumped and not seperated). LHDN will issue you a letter that states that they are not able to proccess your overpayment of tax. hehehhehe, that's why happened to me (2007 and 2008). i still gotta pay them, but am waiting for them to contact me... you can drag this as long as they dont contact you, after all, you are good, tax paying citizen and were only following the ea form issued by the employer ;p Ahhhh... i have a dream, a tiny dream which flutters in my heart everytime the Budget is tabled... all i wish is that they seperate the tax relief for KWSP and life insurance premium. By the time you put in the amount for KWSP, it is likely that you will hit the RM6k limit, hence, no relief for life insurance premium!!! darn...

I had an ex-colleague whom didn't file her taxes for years because her income is not taxable and suddenly one day, she received a summon for not filing it.

But this was abused in many places - for instance in the U.S. the southern states used such rules to exclude blacks from voting in the years after the civil war. So, as political theory developed it was eventually largely agreed that civil rights such as the right to vote should not be denied as this would discriminate against a great number of people permanently. We sort of inherited these principles from the British, who on their own had come to the same conclusion. There actually used to be rules that connected taxation with voting rights.
