PETALING JAYA: Taxpayers with access to the online e-filing tax system will be able to submit their payments along with their 2006 BE/B return forms to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) electronically from Thursday.  A statement from the IRB said taxpayers with access to e-Filing could send their payments via four banks which are using the Financial Process Exchange (FPX) system.

Taxpayers need to have Internet banking accounts with Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd, CIMB Bank (BCB account only), Hong Leong Bank Bhd, and Public Bank Berhad to use the e-payment system.

The statement said taxpayers should surf the board’s website at http://www.hasil.org.myor the e-hasil website at https://e.hasil.org.my and click on the e-bayaran icon.

A service charge of 50 sen would be imposed for every transaction, it added.

“Taxpayers can benefit from the electronic payment system, whereby they don’t need to wait in line at the IRB counters, and they can submit their payments at anytime and from any location,” the statement issued here Wednesday said.

The IRB had introduced the e-filing system last year, and more than 300,000 people had filed their returns via the Internet.

The Board has not been sending B/BE forms 2006 via post to taxpayers who had submitted their tax forms through e-Filing.

Taxpayers could also use their digital certificates, which is valid for three years (until 2009) to e-file their returns.
