After your company is incorporated, you should look into tax compliance matters and some important datelines in order to run your business smoothly and legally. The followings are important deadlines and all you need to know about Corporate Tax payment.

Under Income Tax Act 1967, corporate tax is charged to all existing companies that registered in Malaysia for chargeable income acquired from Malaysia that includes business profits, dividends, and other income. 

You may revise your tax estimate during the 6th and 9th month period.

Deadline: By 31 March of following calendar year (e.g. 31 March)
Information to declare in Form E:

• Employer’s (company’s) details
• Employees remuneration information(i.e. salaries, wages, allowance, incentives & etc.)

Deadline: Within 7 months after the assessment year ends

Form C - is the Company corporate tax return where it calculates the chargeable income and income tax payable of the Company.

There might be a difference in the amount of the estimated tax payable and the actual tax payable. Hence, if the actual tax payable greater than estimated amount after the assessment year ends, the balance of year actual tax payable must be paid.

In contrast, you can request for a refund if the actual tax payable is lower than the estimated amount and it can be done through the submission of tax return.

A Company must submit the CP37 IRB within thirty days of the payment made.
