On 30 August 2023, the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) announced that, to facilitate the payment of the Withholding Tax online using mytax portal, the electronic Withholding Tax form (e-WHT) was introduced starting January 1, 2023.
e-WHT will be a compulsory e-tax services to be used online, starting September 1, 2023. Implementation will be made by stages. At the moment small value WHT such as form CP37S (Small value royalty), Form CP37DS (Small Value special class of income) still not available but is expected to kick in soon.
Payments of Withholding Tax through e-WHT will use a Bill Number as a payment reference, which can be made via ByrHASiL payment portal or accessed via the MyTax Portal at https://mytax.hasil.gov.my.
e-WHT also enables the immediate issuance of payment receipts and direct data receipts by IRBM as soon as the payment is made.
Taxpayers wishing to make Withholding Tax payments through e-WHT must first access the system by logging in using their MyTax identification (ID) to access the Perkhidmatan ezHasil > eWHT.
The Bill Number will be automatically generated once the form is successfully submitted online with complete information.
e-WHT has been introduced as an alternative to the existing Withholding Tax payment methods, including:
-
Manual payments at the IRBM Revenue Management Center (PPTH)
-
Online payments through Telegraphic Transfer, Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT), and Interbank Giro Transfer (IBG) methods from within and outside the country via the e-TT System.
Taxpayers who typically make Withholding Tax payments through Telegraphic Transfer, EFT, and IBG methods from within and outside the country using the e-TT system are encouraged to use e-WHT if they have a bank account within Malaysia.
As additional information, there will no longer be a requirement to submit forms or documents for Withholding Tax payments received through the e-TT System via email by taxpayers starting from September 1, 2023.
However, receipts and all documents related to Withholding Tax payments should be kept systematically for compliance checks in the future.
Taxpayers who make payments at PPTH (Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, and Kota Kinabalu) are encouraged to use e-WHT to submit forms and obtain a Bill Number in advance before making Withholding Tax payments to expedite the issuance of payment receipts.
