Bill number to be used as tax payment reference

PUTRAJAYA: The “bill number” will be used as a mandatory reference for the payment of all types of direct taxes except for Schedular Tax Deductions (PCB) and Stamp Duty, beginning today.

The Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) said information regarding the bill number could be obtained by visiting the MyTax Portal at https://mytax.hasil.gov.my/“After browsing the MyTax Portal, users need to click on ezHASiL Services and then click on e-Billing.

“It is stated in the notice of assessment or estimate and letters of demand for payment sent by the LHDN to taxpayers,” it said, adding that payment could be made online or at LHDN payment centres and agent banks.

“For payment at counters and agent banks, taxpayers need to print the payment slip or download the required bill number by scanning the QR code on the payment slip,” it said.

During the transition period to the use of bill numbers, taxpayers can still use their Tax Identification Number (TIN) or Tax Reference Number for direct tax payment until June 30, 2023. — Bernama
