PUTRAJAYA: The Inland Revenue Board’s (LHDN) electronic telegraphic transfer system (e-TT) will be temporarily closed from July 17 to 21 to facilitate system enhancements.
It said in a statement on Monday (July 14) that two key improvements will be introduced: a new feature to generate a virtual account (VA) number using the bill number, and a mechanism to automatically send payment receipts directly to taxpayers’ email addresses once payment is received by LHDN’s agent bank.
LHDN said copies of receipts, limited to Income Tax and Real Property Gains Tax, can also be accessed via the e-Lejar application or the Withholding Tax Payment Statement by logging in with identification documents via the MyTax portal at https://mytax.hasil.gov.my.
"Once the e-TT system reopens on July 22, taxpayers will be required to generate a new VA number to proceed with payment,” said LHDN.
During the system downtime, LHDN encourages taxpayers to make payments using their bill number and Tax Identification Number (TIN) via PFX on LHDN’s official portal, through appointed agent banks, and Pos Malaysia. Payments can be made either over the counter, via Internet banking, automated teller machines (ATM), or at the Kuala Lumpur Revenue Collection Management Centre.
More information on payment methods is available on LHDN’s official portal or via the quick access menu: Service > Individual > *Individual Life Cycle > Payment > Mode of Payment. - Bernama
