Malaysia Inland Revenue Authority - Form E

Malaysia Hotline: +603-2141 8908

In Malaysia, regardless of the size of your company's business, wholly-owned companies, dynamic or static companies, and companies that do not hire employees must submit Form E. Form E is that domestic business people report the latest business status to the Tax Bureau. Employers must submit a statement of details such as the size and salary and expenditure of the whole year to the Tax Bureau.

At present, some small enterprises in Malaysia do not submit Form E to the Tax Bureau in order to reduce the trouble. In fact, the submission of the form E does not result in a loss to the employer. It is only a form submitted. Once the Tax Bureau found out that it was not submitted within the time specified by the Tax Bureau, the employer must pay the fine imposed by the Tax Bureau.
