How To File Your Taxes If You Changed Or Lost Your Job In 2025 (YA 2025)

This guide explains how to navigate tax filing for Year of Assessment (YA) 2025 if you experienced a change in employment. If you switched jobs, you must consolidate income, EPF, and tax deductions from every EA form issued by your 2025 employers into a single return. For those who were retrenched, the article clarifies that compensation for loss of employment is taxable, though exemptions apply—specifically a full exemption for ill health or RM10,000 for each completed year of service. Regardless of your current status, filing remains mandatory to reconcile monthly deductions and claim refunds for any overpaid taxes.
