Two more days for employers to complete E forms

PETALING JAYA: Employers have two days left to complete their E forms for the income tax returns for assessment year 2009.

Internal Revenue Board (IRB) public relations officer Masrun Maslim reminded employers to submit the forms to avoid the hassle of last-minute submission.

He said that although many people were now switching to e-filing, they should not wait to submit their returns till the last minute.

He added that the e-filing system had also been upgraded to cope with the surge in online tax returns.

The deadline for individual taxpayers (BE and M forms) is April 30 and June 30 for businessmen (Forms B and M).

Those who jointly file their tax returns using the P Form have until June 30 to do so. As of Sunday, the IRB received 238,411 tax return forms online.

“This is an 85.87% increase from 128,266 during the same period last year,” he said yesterday. He added that 1.53 million income tax return forms for individuals for 2009 have been sent by the IRB since February
