Please click here for the FAQ issued by LHDN
The FAQ appeared to be the latest policies of LHDN in response to the Movement Control Order 3.0 (full lockdown).
We have summarised our findings as follows:
1. Companies (Sdn Bhd/Bhd)
There is no further extension of time. Tax returns for companies must be submitted within 8 months from the financial year end.
The deadlines are as follows:
With this, it means companies would not be able to take advantage of the 90 days extension given by Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) - as the tax returns must be submitted within 8 months from the financial year end.
For example, a company with financial year ended 31.12.2020:
SSM would allow the audit report be submitted by 28.10.2021 (after 90 days extension).
However, the company’s tax return must be submitted by 31.08.2021. And this would mean that the audit report must be ready by 31.08.2021 in any case, as the company’s tax return must be prepared based on audited figures.
For our clients who are facing difficulties in meeting the tax deadline, please contact us immediately so that we can assist in applying for a special extension of time from LHDN. We understand LHDN may consider such application on case-by-case basis.
