THE INTRODUCTION OF BILL NUMBER AS NEW PAYMENT REFERENCE OTHER THAN TAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (TIN)

IRBM has introduced Bill Numbers as a mandatory reference for the payment of direct taxes except for the Monthly Tax Deduction (MTD) and Stamp Duty payment starting from 1st January 2023.

However, the usage of TIN as a payment reference is still allowed during the transition period until further notice.

Tax Payment Via ByrHASiL Through FPX Services

The e-payment portal at IRBM website enables taxpayer to pay income tax through FPX gateway. User need to register for internet banking service with any commercial banks listed as FPX associate.

Payment can be made online at IRBM website www.hasil.gov.my by clicking ‘Perkhidmatan ezHasil’ > ‘ByrHASiL’ using Bill Number or TIN as payment reference.

The amount limit for each payment transaction for the FPX service at ByrHASiL is as follows:

Account Type Transaction Limit
Individual RM5,000,000
(previously RM500,000)
Corporate/Business RM250,000,000
(previously RM100,000,000)

However, this payment transaction limit also depends on the maximum withdrawal/transaction limit set by the account owner or related bank.

For example, although the transaction limit for individuals through FPX at ByrHASiL is up to RM500,000, nevertheless, the maximum withdrawal limit of the taxpayer's bank account is set at RM50,000, the taxpayer is still unable to make a one-time payment because the maximum withdrawal limit has been exceeded. In this situation, the taxpayers need to refer to the bank to increase the transaction limit.

Following the implementation of the termination of manual acceptance of tax payment instruments (cash, cheque and bank draft) for all direct tax payment at PPTH in Kuching and Kota Kinabalu starting from 1st of February 2024, a manual instrument of tax payment can only be received at PPTH Kuala Lumpurfor the following tax payment:
