PUTRAJAYA: Individual taxpayers do not need to submit an amended Income Tax Return Form (BNCP) for the year of assessment 2025 to correct an accidental error in marking the "Tax Borne by Employer” column. "The LHDN has noted that some individual taxpayers inadvertently marked the ‘Tax borne by employer’ column when filling out their BNCP for 2025, resulting in delays in receiving excess tax refunds. "For cases confirmed as marking errors, the excess tax refunds will be processed in stages,” the statement read. LHDNexplained that the tax refund system operates automatically based on the information provided by taxpayers in their returns. The board reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring tax refund management is carried out fairly, transparently and with integrity, in line with ongoing efforts to enhance the efficiency of the country’s tax administration.
