‘Provide accurate information, declare income correctly’ - Borneo Post March 17, 2011, Thursday

MIRI: Taxpayers can now file their taxes from March to April and are advised to file in early to avoid congestions at the counters.

“Taxpayers should come early to our counters to avoid congestion expected near the deadline on April 30,” said LHDN Miri branch assistant director Azami Mohd Amin recently.

He reminded taxpayers to provide accurate information and declare their income correctly.

“Please bring along the relevant documents and information on your claims before coming over,” he advised.

All supporting documents concerning tax exemptions and claimable expenses used in calculating income taxes must also be kept safely for up to seven years for random audits by LHDN.

Taxpayers can also access e-Filing through www.hasil.gov.my or login directly at https//e.hasil.gov.my.

Meanwhile, taxpayers who generated income from business sources have until June 30 as their deadline.
