Tax returns and filing in Malaysia: fees in RM and deadlines

Updated 4 November 2026

In Malaysia, professional fees for a tax return start at about RM800 for a dormant company and from RM1,000 for an active company. These are approximate figures, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. For a price on your own case, describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice: the AI will look through sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia and show what it finds.

Deadlines that set the timing

Personal returns without business income are due by 30 April of the following year, and returns with business income by 30 June. Companies file electronically within seven months of the end of their financial year. Because the system is self-assessed, the deadline stays yours even when an accountant prepares the return. The tropical climate does not change this calendar, so book before those dates rather than waiting for the rush.

Registration and licences for a small business

A sole proprietor's registration needs a copy of the owner's identity card, the business name and the business activities. A municipal business licence costs from RM50 to RM1,000 a year and is renewed annually, so check the council's fee for your activity before you start trading.

Reliefs and who is taxed how

Reliefs reduce the taxable figure. Guides list items such as self education fees up to RM7,000 and medical expenses. Non-resident individuals are taxed at a flat 30% and cannot claim reliefs, so say on your request whether you are a resident. Have your income figures in ringgit and your receipts ready before the quote.

What to put in your request

Say who is filing (you, a sole proprietor or a company), which return it is, and the period it covers. Add whether the income comes from employment, business or both, whether this is a one-off or a yearly job, and the approximate income or turnover in RM. Give your deadline and your budget too.
