The EA Form: Your Guide to Annual Tax Filing
By LHDN Payroll Architect1 min read • 139 wordsLast Updated: June 2026
Every year by the last day of February, employers are legally required to hand over a Borang EA (EA Form) to each of their employees. This single-page document is critical for tax submission, capturing all earnings, bonuses, allowances, and statutory deductions for the year.
Please Note: This calculator provides an estimate only and is not an official LHDN ( Hasil ), KWSP or PERKESO statutory submission tool. Actual PCB, EPF, SOCSO and EIS amounts may vary depending on employee status, residency, tax relief eligibility, rebates (e.g. spouse/children declarations), TP1/TP3 information, prior employment records within the year, and official updates. Please verify calculation figures against official LHDN portal, KWSP booklets, PERKESO schedules, or consult with a certified payroll/tax compliance specialist.
Decoding the EA Form Sections
The EA Form is partitioned into detailed sectors: Section A (Personal info of the employee), Section B (Details of taxable employment income including gross salary, bonus, commission, and taxable benefits), Section C (Deductions from salary, listing total paid PCB, EPF, SOCSO, and EIS), and Section D (Retirement gratuities/tax exempt benefits). Understanding these sections is essential.
How to Use the EA Form for e-Filing
When logging into the LHDN MyTax portal, you don't need to guess numbers. Simply copy the corresponding totals: Section B goes into 'Employment Income', Section C totals match 'Monthly Tax Deductions (PCB)', and statutory values align with EPF/SOCSO relief allocations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Immediately notify your company's HR department. They are legally required to issue an amended and corrected EA Form to you and update LHDN's records.
