📣Form BE Deadline Is Closer Than You Think

Personal tax filing season is already underway.

The deadline for Form BE submission is at the end of April. It may sound far away, but in reality, the weeks move quickly once March begins.

Many taxpayers wait until the final stretch. That usually means:
🔸rushing through reliefs
🔸second-guessing figures
🔸scrambling for documents
🔸or worse, submitting without reviewing properly

✨If you have not started preparing your Form BE, now is the time.

📣Relief Limits You Should Double Check Before Filing

Before you submit your Form BE, take five minutes to review these updated relief limits.

We’ve summarised the key limits in the visuals above, including expanded categories and commonly overlooked claims.

Swipe through and make sure you’re not missing anything.
Tax relief reduces your tax payable, not your actual spending. But getting the limits right ensures you do not leave money on the table.

✨Starting a Business in 2026? Your First Tax Reality Check

Starting a business is exciting. But once you begin invoicing, the tax clock also starts.

Here are a few realities to be aware of early:
🔸Business income is taxed differently from salary.
🔸You may need to file a different tax form.
🔸CP500 instalments can apply once income is established.
🔸Only properly recorded expenses are deductible.
🔸Profit is taxable even if you leave the money inside the business.

Many new owners think, “I’ll deal with tax next year.”

That approach often leads to rushed records, missed deductions, or unexpected instalments.

If you are starting a business in 2026 and want to make sure your setup is correct from day one, WhatsApp us: https://wa.link/sxqaam

✨More Reliefs This Year, But Also a New Tax to Watch

This year’s personal tax filing comes with expanded reliefs, but also an important new development that many taxpayers may overlook.

On the relief side, several categories have been widened or increased, including:
🔸Parent medical expenses now extended to grandparents
🔸Expanded sports-related lifestyle relief
🔸Higher relief limits for disabled individuals, spouses, and children
🔸Increased education and medical insurance relief
🔸Environmental sustainability relief expanded to include composting equipment
🔸New housing loan interest relief for qualifying first-time homebuyers

However, there is also a significant change.
Dividend income exceeding RM100,000 per year is now subject to a 2% tax.
Previously, dividends were fully exempt. This is the first year this rule applies, and many may not factor it in during filing.

If you’re a foreigner working or earning income in Malaysia, personal tax filing can be confusing, especially in your first year here.

Although filing deadlines fall towards the end of April, February is the right time to start preparing.

Here are three common misunderstandings we often see.

1️⃣Nationality does not determine your tax form
What matters is tax residency, not your passport.
🔸Tax residents generally file Form BE
🔸Non-residents generally file Form M
Many foreigners file the wrong form by assuming “foreigner = Form M”. That is not always correct.

2️⃣EA issued does not mean your filing is done
Your employer issues Form EA to report employment income. You are still responsible for filing your personal tax return. EA supports your filing. It does not replace it.

3️⃣Overseas and side income still need review
Income that is paid overseas, freelance, or occasional is often assumed to be out of scope.

Whether it needs to be declared depends on source, nature, and residency status.

📣Starting early gives you time to:
🔸confirm your tax residency
🔸file the correct form
🔸review what income should be declared

If you’re unsure how personal tax filing applies to you, it’s better to clarify early than correct mistakes later. Talk to us: https://wa.link/sxqaam
