3 Steps to Register as a First-Time Taxpayer in Malaysia

Individuals with income who are liable for tax need to file an e-Filing or declare their income tax annually. According to the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN), individuals with a minimum income of RM34,000 per year or RM2,833 per month after KWSP deductions must register for tax filing.

If you meet these requirements, you need to register as a taxpayer and sign up for e-Filing. Here is a guide for your reference:

1. Register as a Taxpayer via e-Daftar LHDN

You can register as a first-time taxpayer by visiting any nearby LHDN branch or by registering through the e-Daftar LHDN portal. If you choose to register online, select the “Individual” category for “Taxpayer Type.”

Once your application is submitted, you can check your application status via e-Daftar LHDN. Additionally, you can also check your income tax status by contacting LHDN at 03-8911 1000.

2. Receive a One-Time Password for e-Filing
