LHDN: No Need To Amend 2025 Tax Returns For Employer Tax Marking Error
Deep dive into the Curated RinggitPlus + ThinkTx article by Samuel Chua.
This article explains that taxpayers who accidentally selected the "Tax borne by employer" option on their 2025 income tax returns do not need to file an amended form. The Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) has identified these specific errors, which have been causing delays in automatic tax refund processing. Instead of requiring manual corrections, LHDN will verify the affected submissions internally and process the delayed refunds in stages. The agency clarifies this is an administrative update rather than a new tax rule, ensuring taxpayers that their refunds will be handled automatically, though they may still experience some waiting time.
