Scenario:

Year of Investment: 2021

Year of assessment in respect of exemption of Aggregate Income: 2023

Year of tax exemption filing with Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia (LHDN): 2024

‍

If investors missed the tax exemption filing window (2024), they are NOT allowed to file the tax exemption (for their investment made through ECF in 2021) in the following year tax filing window.

‍

Investors must appeal to LHDN through a process known as “rayuan khilaf” within 5 years from the year of tax filing (2024), subject to LHDN terms & conditions and processes.
