The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia has unveiled plans to simplify the tax assessment process by introducing an enhanced functionality within the MYTAX portal, set to go live on 1 June 2026. The new feature will enable taxpayers to generate, review, and submit their tax assessments online, eliminating many of the manual steps traditionally required. Key benefits include automated calculation of liabilities, instantaneous verification of taxpayer data, and a user-friendly dashboard that guides users through each stage of the assessment workflow. The Board emphasised that the upgrade is designed to reduce administrative burdens, minimise calculation errors, and accelerate the issuance of assessment notices. In preparation for the launch, a series of webinars and instructional videos will be released throughout May 2026, targeting individual taxpayers, corporations, and tax representatives. The initiative is positioned as a cornerstone of the Board’s digital transformation roadmap, which seeks to modernise tax administration, foster greater compliance, and align Malaysia’s tax ecosystem with global best practices. Taxpayers are advised to update their contact details and ensure internet connectivity to fully benefit from the forthcoming improvements. This development underscores the government’s commitment to leveraging technology for efficient public service delivery and fiscal sustainability.
