Tax Digitalisation To Simplify Taxpayers' Affairs, Increase Compliance
KUALA LUMPUR, June 5 (Bernama) -- The initiative by the Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (IRB) in driving comprehensive digital transformation will simplify taxpayers' affairs nationwide, thereby increasing compliance levels.
Its Chief Officer of Operations, Marsidi Zelika, said that the digital transformation does not only focus on migrating services to online platforms, but also involves changing the work structure, mindset and operational strategy to ensure more efficient and user-friendly tax services.
'It includes systems such as MyTax, ByrHASiL, e-Filing and now e-Invoicing, all created to enable taxpayers to manage their tax affairs quickly, easily and securely without having to go to the counter,' he said.
He said this when appearing as a guest on Bernama TV's Ruang Bicara programme, with the title 'Digitalisation of HASiL: Simplifying Taxpayer Affairs', last night.
He said that the digital system, such as e-Filing, which is equipped with automatic calculation and final review functions, helps users avoid common mistakes such as incorrect tax calculations and incomplete data.
'The data integration function, automatic verification and the use of a single identity-based system through MyTax ensure that taxpayers' information is consistent and easy to track,' he said, adding that the system is also linked to Monthly Tax Deduction (PCB) information from employers.
Touching on the latest initiative, Marsidi said the implementation of e-Invoice, which started in August last year in phases, has received an encouraging response from the public, especially small and medium-sized businesses.
'As of June 4, 2025, more than 313.4 million e-Invoices have been recorded involving 33,391 taxpayers. This clearly shows a very positive reception for this digital initiative,' he said.
According to him, the implementation of e-Invoice does not just replace printed invoices, but also opens up opportunities for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to restructure their business accounting systems more systematically and effectively.

Federal Territories Must Not Be Viewed As Homogenous Entity
LABUAN, July 17 (Bernama) -- The Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan must not be viewed as a homogenous entity, as each faces distinct economic and social challenges that demand tailored solutions, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa. 'For too long, the Federal Territories have been treated as one homogenous unit. However, when we consider the realities of economic well-being and public welfare, it is clear that Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan each face very different sets of challenges,' she said in a Facebook post today. Speaking after a post-Cabinet engagement session following the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) discussions with Ministry of Economy officials, Dr Zaliha said the meeting allowed her and the leadership of the Department of Federal Territories (JWP) to convey the true aspirations of the people in all three territories.
