Tax Form Submission Procedure for B / BE YA2007

25-1-2008

 

Dear Sir / Madam,

Re: Tax Form Submission Procedure for B / BE YA2007

Pertaining to the above matter, we’re pleased to inform you that for year 2007 Tax Submission, LHDN is implementing aggressively on e-filing; which means, the Tax payer is allowed to submits the tax form through two matters only, i.e.:

• Through E-Filing – Form B / BE YA2007 (Highly Recommended By LHDN)
• Through Original Forms Form B / BE YA2007 Provide by LHDN (Hard Copies) which sent directly to the Tax payer.

Any duplicating copies Form B / BE YA 2007 are strictly PROHIBITED and NOT ACCEPTABLE by the concern authority, and the LHDN also restricted from downloading any forms/format from the LHDN website. Tax Forms printed out from any computerized tax software for submission purpose is Not ALLOWED.

While waiting for the new e-filing procedure & process from LHDN, BiZZTAX Tax Software has incorporated the copy for Forms – B / BE YA2007 into the software itself to enable the review of the tax data being input and computed according to the YA2007 tax rules. Therefore, we advised the users DO NOT PRINT the forms for submission purpose until the final notice is given by LHDN.

Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank You

A Huge Relief For Taxpayers

02-4-2007

KUALA LUMPUR, March 30 (Bernama) -- In what is seen as a huge relief for individual and corporate taxpayers, the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) will reimburse excess tax payments for year of assessment 2006 within 30 working days for those using the e-filing system.

The IRB will do this without having to refer to previous years' assessments, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Sidek Hassan says in a statement.

He made the announcement today following the second meeting of the Special Task Force to Facilitate Business (PEMUDAH) that was set up recently to look into improving the public delivery system.

For individuals, the deadline to submit their tax returns is April 30 and for companies June 30.

This means individuals and companies will be paid back their excess tax payments even though the assessments for earlier years have yet to be processed.

Repayments for assessments before 2006 will be made separately, he said.

IRB will also continue reimbursing excess tax payments directly to taxpayers without waiting for specific applications by them while the reimbursements will be within 30 working days for e-filing users.

Issues related to immigration, land registration and other matters are also being reviewed by the implementors, Sidek says.

PEMUDAH is committed to chalking up improvements in these areas to quicken the government's delivery system and make the climate for business more conducive and enhance the country's competitiveness.

E-filing Woes Caused By Upgrading Exercise

27-3-2007

KUALA LUMPUR, March 27 (Bernama) -- The Inland Revenue Board (IRB) today explained that its e-filing system suffered glitches on March 13-15 due to steps taken to ensure it is capable of accommodating more users.

IRB director-general Hasmah Abdullah said the problems were fully ironed out on March 21, and the public could now use the system more easily.

"The sluggishness of the system was due to the upgrading exercise to make it faster and able to handle a bigger number of users at any one time," she told a news conference here, Tuesday.

The upgrade also involved the introduction of the new e-payment application that enables Bank Islam, CIMB Bank, Public Bank dan Hong Leong Bank account holders to make payments through their banks without having to go to IRB counters.

Digicert Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Noor Azli Othman said during the disruption, users faced problems to download the registration certificate to enable them to access the e-filing system. Digicert is the provider of the system to IRB.

"We are in the process of enhancing the system to prevent queues besides upgrading the data storage capacity and adding higher capacity servers," he said.

On tax refund applications, Hasmah said that taxpayers could submit their income tax forms together with dividend vouchers.

She said there were 34,850 refund cases involving individual and company taxes amounting to RM607 million.

Hasmah said RM727 was refunded last year to taxpayers using the e-filing, with the total sum refunded amounting to RM4.3 billion.

"For those using the e-filing, we have started the refunding process and they should expect to get it in three months," she said.

She said those still awaiting their BE or B forms should visit the nearest IRB office to get them or surf the IRB website at www.hasil.org.my. The BE and B forms should be submitted before April 30 and June 30 respectively.

Red faces as IRB’s e-filing system fails

15-3-2007

PETALING JAYA: Barely 24 hours after its launch, the e-filing system for taxpayers crashed yesterday, in an embarrassment to Inland Revenue Board officials. 

The e-filing system was tested and had operated smoothly since the beginning of this month. 

However, the board discovered technical glitches with the service provider, Digicert Sdn Bhd, when its staff members tried to download digital certificates yesterday after receiving complaints from its branches that the digital certificates could not be downloaded. 

Sources from Digicert Sdn Bhd said the problem could probably be rectified within three days. 

The e-filing system and taxpayers month program 2007 was launched by Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Awang Adek Hussin at KL Sentral on Tuesday.

FORM B & BE FILING FOR ASSESSMENT 2006 Important !!

8-3-2007

WHAT HAPPEN TO PDF FORM B & BE?
Many of you may have been wondering why the PDF version of the Form B and Form BE for 2006 have been discontinued and taken off the IRB website and what has happened to the availability of these PDF Forms?

A meeting with the IRB on 21/02/2007 and 27/02/2007 and the reasons why the IRB has decided to discontinue with the PDF Form format was due to several reasons :-

1.      IRB is not able to scan a majority of the forms printed from the PDF files in submitted in 2006 due to print size cause by different printers.

2.      The paper used in the printing these PDF forms are of different qualities thus creating scan problems.

3.      The print quality (some cases using dot matrix printers) in printing these PDF forms also causes scan problems.

WHAT HAPPEN NOW?

IRB has agreed and released Static PDF Forms to both Associations/Institutes and Software Providers however these static PDF forms do not support E-filing and can only be used and be submitted to IRB on the following conditions :-

1.      The printed PDF Forms can only be printed and submitted by Licensed Tax Agents. (IRB authority will be looking for Tax Agent’s particulars on the forms submitted)

2.      Each printed form submitted must be signed and Tax Agent can submit batches of forms of not more than 25 forms (in each batch of submission) to IRB Processing Centre TOGETHER with a softcopy in CD which contains the submission data of that batch of forms submitted.

Important attention is needed when submitting these forms :

1.      Each form submitted that does not have a corresponding or associated data file in the softcopy (in CD form) or having the wrong format or the softcopy submitted cannot be read will result and cause that individual form or the entire batch submission to be rejected by IRB.

2.      The Data File softcopy must conform to the format that has been described by the IRB
