Income Tax clearance

Nandhi

Whether the employer will do it or employee should do? How many days before can we get tax clearance?

Gravitas

The company will provide you with a Leavers Form and you take this to the tax office (take your passport with you). It takes about 10 days to get the clearance completed.

This is the form you need http://lampiran1.hasil.gov.my/pdf/pdfbo … 1_2015.pdf

Thanks for your reply. Another question, should I have to close my income tax file no before leaving as I may not come back to Malaysia again for the employment..If yes then what is the procedure?

Ideally you need do all clearance ie income tax before leaving Malaysia. Unless you dont plan to come back to Malaysia even as tourist.

Any outstanding especially owing to income tax will subject to immigration decision to refuse your next entry to Malaysia.

It's not important to close your tax file number as it will just continue to be on record anyway to ensure against tax avoidance.
