Have you filed your tax? If you haven't, perhaps you can do it now.
In recent years, Inland Revenue Board (IRB), or some people call it as tax department, is promoting e-fling (filing tax online). By using e-filing, we no longer need go to IRB office to file our tax and avoiding long queue while doing tax filing. With e-filing, we can file our tax at home.
Have you try e-filing? Perhaps, this is the guideline for you.
If you haven't register as tax payer, you need to register first.
