(Tax Update) : Use Of e-WHT For WHT Payment

IRB Public Annoucement

The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia has issued a media release dated 30 August 2023 on encouraging the use of electronic withholding tax (e-WHT) for WHT payment on its website.

From 1 January 2023, HASiL started this e-WHT system to make tax payments simpler.

e-WHT is one of the e-taxation services which is compulsory to be used online in stages with effect from 1 September 2023. Taxpayers will have to use it step by step, starting 1 September 2023.

How to e-WHT

Payment of WHT through e-WHT will use the Bill Number as a payment reference which can be made through the FPX method at the HASiL Payment Portal (ByrHASiL) or can be accessed via the MyTax Portal https://mytax.hasil.gov.my.

e-WHT enables proof of receipt of payment to be issued directly and data to be received directly by HASiL as soon as payment is made.

Taxpayers who wish to make WHT payments through e-WHT need to access the system by first logging in using their MyTax identification (ID) information for access at ezHasil Services > eWHT. A Bill Number will be generated automatically after the form is successfully submitted online with complete information.

KTP Thoughts

The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia will mandate the use of e-services through the MyTax portal in stages from 1 September 2023. This is in line with the government’s digitalisation of service delivery systems, with full implementation expected by 1 January 2024.

Taxpayers are advised to switch to online services for all transactions, including online payment methods, to ensure that the transactions are safe and in order.
