KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 25 – The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) targets to receive 4.2 million taxpayers forms through e-Filing for the 2016 assessment year. Its chief executive officer Datuk Sabin Samitah said the projection was an increase of 2.4 per cent from the previous assessment year.
He said he advise taxpayers to submit their forms earlier to enable them to process the refund immediately if taxpayers have a credit with IRBM. He told this to reporters after officiating the ‘Fit HASiL’ programme here today. The second edition of the programme is organised as part of the HASiL Day celebration on March 1 and aimed at supporting the government’s policy to adopt a health lifestyle among IRBM employees.
He said it was also to prevent congestion on the system if taxpayers were to submit their forms at the last minute. However Sabin assured that IRBM had made preparations in terms of enhancing system capacity to allow taxpayers to submit their forms online without facing any problems.
The e-Filing facility is a free application provided by IRBM to make it easier for taxpayers to complete, calculate and submit their income tax return forms (ITRF) electronically through internet. The application may be accessed through IRBM’s official portal at www.hasil.gov.my. — Bernama
