PUTRAJAYA, June 1 — Taxpayers can now file assessment appeals or apply for an extension of time to appeal tax assessments raised under the Income Tax Act 1967 through the new e-Assessment Appeal service on the MyTax portal.

However, the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) said the facility does not cover cases involving capital gains tax, withholding tax, or assessments arising from investigation activities.

In a statement today, the IRB said the initiative marks a shift from previous manual and document-based processes to a fully online system, eliminating the need for taxpayers to physically visit IRB offices.

“Among the new experiences for taxpayers include the ability to submit assessment appeals or applications for extension of time from anywhere and in real time,” the IRB said.

Taxpayers will also be able to track the status of their appeals or applications throughout the process and receive notifications, including letters of acceptance or rejection, as well as notices of approval for extension requests, online.

For access, the IRB said individual taxpayers may submit appeals or extension applications via the individual taxpayer role on MyTax.

Company directors, authorised officers, and administrators of organisations such as cooperatives, trusts, and limited liability partnerships (LLPs) may submit applications through the company director or organisation administrator roles. — Bernama

 

 

PUTRAJAYA, June 12 — All new applications for approval under Subsection 44(6) of the Income Tax Act 1967 involving institutions or organisations (IOs) must be submitted through the e-Derma system from June 15, 2026.

In a statement today, the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) said the move is part of its efforts to expand digital service delivery and improve the efficiency of reviewing and approving tax exemption applications.

According to LHDN, the e-Derma system allows applications to be submitted online at any time without the need to visit an LHDN office or submit physical documents.

However, new applications under Subsection 44(6) involving funds or Institutions/Organisations/Funds (IOTs) represented by tax representatives or tax agents must continue to be submitted manually together with supporting documents for the time being.

The board said the e-Derma system would be extended to this category in a later phase.

In addition to new applications, the platform also facilitates requests for extensions of approval periods, submission of documents such as Audited Financial Statements and Self-Review Forms, as well as amendments to IOT-related information.

Users can access these services through the LHDN and MyTax portals, with a user manual available to assist with the submission process.

LHDN said the digitalisation of tax-related services is expected to improve service delivery through faster processing and approvals, better document management, and more convenient access for IOTs.

The initiative is also in line with the board’s ongoing efforts to strengthen a more efficient, transparent and customer-friendly digital tax ecosystem. — Bernama
