(Tax Update) How to Pay Withholding Tax Online

Paying and submitting withholding tax in Malaysia under the Electronic Transmission of Tax (eTT) system involves several steps, generally centered around using the Malaysian Inland Revenue Board's (LHDN) online platforms.

The eTT system is designed to streamline the process of declaring and paying taxes, including withholding tax, which is a tax deducted at source on certain types of payments made to non-residents in Malaysia.

Here’s a step-by-step guides :

Start at the MyTax Website

Access the MyTax website and head over to "ezHasil Services."
Select the "e-TT" option, followed by "Electronic Telegraphic Transfer."

Proceed Through the Steps

Click "Next" to move forward.
Enter your identification details and click "Next" again.
Provide your email address and proceed to the next step.
Input the One-Time Password (OTP) code you receive for verification.

Enter Payment Details

Navigate to the "Payment Details" section.
Choose "Withholding Tax (WHT)" as the payment type.
Fill in your tax number, address, and select the applicable tax section.

Submission and Virtual Account Number

Review all the information you've entered to ensure accuracy.
Submit your information.
Upon submission, you'll receive a Virtual Account (VA) Number. Print this out for your records.

Complete the Payment

Use the provided VA number to make your payment. This can be done via online banking, at a bank counter, or through an ATM.

Email Supporting Documents

After payment, email the necessary supporting documents. This includes the Withholding Tax form, a copy of the invoice, proof of payment, the VA number, and the bank transfer slip.

This guide provides a general overview. The specific steps, forms, and procedures may vary slightly depending on various factors, including changes in the e-Filing system or updates in tax laws.

For the most current and detailed instructions, it’s best to consult the LHDN’s official website or contact your trusted tax agent directly.
