PUTRAJAYA: Taxpayers now have until May 15, 2026, to submit the Tax Return Form (BN) for the Year of Assessment 2025, following a 15-day extension granted by the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN).
The extension follows the mandatory e-Filing system, giving taxpayers more time to submit accurate and complete returns.
The deadline for individuals and non-individuals, including organisations, estates and Hindu joint families not carrying on a business, was previously set for April 30.
"Taxpayers are advised to make full use of this extension by filing early to ensure a smooth process and avoid system congestion near the deadline," LHDN said in a statement.
It also stressed that compliance with the stipulated deadline is essential to avoid action under the Income Tax Act 1967, including penalties for late submission or failure to file.
The e-Filing service can be accessed directly at https://mytax.hasil.gov.my or via the official LHDN portal at https://www.hasil.gov.my
As guidance, taxpayers are encouraged to refer to the relevant BN explanatory notes if clarification is needed before submission.
"They are also advised to review all tax-related documents and information in advance, including income statements, receipts and supporting records.
"Tax returns should be completed carefully to ensure submissions are accurate and complete,” read the statement. – Bernama
