Malaysian Tax Return Filing: Key Guidelines and Exemptions

  1. Income threshold: If your annual income (after EPF deduction) is at least RM 34,000, you are generally required to submit a tax return.
  2. Exemptions: However, exemptions apply under specific conditions. You may be exempt from filing if:
  • Your sole source of income is employment income.
  • You’ve been employed with the same employer throughout the tax year.
  • Your employer has correctly deducted PCB (Monthly Tax Deduction) from your salary.
  • Your taxes are not borne by your employer.
  • You have not opted for a joint assessment with your spouse.

If any of the above conditions are not met, you must file a tax return.
