Kuala lumpur: The Inland Revenue Board’s (LHDN) electronic telegraphic transfer system (e-TT) will be temporarily closed from July 17 to 21 to facilitate system enhancements. It said in a statement today that the closure is necessary to introduce two key improvements aimed at enhancing user experience and efficiency.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the upgrades include a new feature to generate a virtual account (VA) number using the bill number and a mechanism to automatically send payment receipts directly to taxpayers’ email addresses once payment is received by LHDN’s agent bank. These improvements are expected to streamline the payment process and provide taxpayers with immediate confirmation of their transactions.

LHDN further informed that copies of receipts, specifically for Income Tax and Real Property Gains Tax, can be accessed through the e-Lejar application or the Withholding Tax Payment Statement. Taxpayers can log in using their identification documents via the MyTax portal at https://mytax.hasil.gov.my to obtain these copies.

Once the e-TT system reopens on July 22, taxpayers will need to generate a new VA number to proceed with payment. During the system downtime, LHDN encourages taxpayers to make payments using their bill number and Tax Identification Number (TIN) via PFX on LHDN’s official portal, through appointed agent banks, and Pos Malaysia. Payments can be made either over the counter, via internet banking, automated teller machines (ATM), or at the Kuala Lumpur Revenue Collection Management Centre.

More information on payment methods is available on LHDN’s official portal or through the quick access menu: Service > Individual > *Individual Life Cycle > Payment > Mode of Payment.
