Common Questions

These are the questions we hear most often. If yours isn’t here, reach out.

When should I start planning my taxes?

Now. Most people wait until filing season arrives. You’re actually better off reviewing your situation in September or October — that gives you time to adjust deductions or make relief claims before year-end.

What if I’ve been filing wrong for years?

LHDN can amend previous years’ returns. You can request corrections going back several years if you’ve missed relief or made calculation errors. It’s worth reviewing if you think you’ve paid too much.

Can I claim both medical and insurance relief?

Yes. Different relief categories serve different purposes. Medical expenses fall under one category, life insurance under another. You can claim both if you qualify for both.

What happens if I make a mistake on my e-Filing?

Minor errors usually aren’t a big deal — LHDN processes thousands of returns. If they spot something serious, they’ll contact you requesting clarification or correction. Don’t panic, just respond clearly.

Do I need to keep all my receipts?

You don’t need to submit them with your return, but yes, keep them. LHDN can audit returns up to a certain period back. Having documentation ready protects you if questions come up.

Can my employer help with tax planning?

Some do, but many don’t. Your employer handles withholding, not optimization. Tax planning is mostly on you — knowing your relief categories and claiming what you qualify for.

Real People, Real Results

Salaried employees who took their taxes seriously.

“I didn’t know I could claim education relief until I read your guide. Turns out I’ve been missing RM3,000 in deductions every year. That’s a decent refund once I amend previous returns. Worth checking.”

Rajesh, 34

Accountant

“The e-Filing walkthrough was really helpful. I’ve been filing manually before, spending hours on the form. Once I understood the portal sections, it took 20 minutes. Don’t know why I didn’t try it sooner.”

Siti, 28

Marketing Manager

“Wasn’t confident about my tax situation — felt like I was probably overpaying but didn’t know where to start. Your breakdown of brackets and relief made it clear. Now I actually understand what I owe and why.”
