If you want to learn how to file IR8A for the first time, read this helpful article instead! However, if you have already submitted IR8A and are looking for a way to amend it, you’ve come to the right place.

Filing and amending IR8A is a taxing experience that will never be a simple responsibility. There are numbers to take into account, percentages to calculate, and past records to refer to for each employee. We’ve experienced the frustration of the manual tax filing process. That is why we designed our 1-click IR8A submission function to now make amendments and the refiling process easy.

Just make sure you edit and resubmit the form by 31 March!

With the deadline in mind, here’s some information you might find useful for IR8A amendment submission.

      Hello Seet Tho, you can head over to ezHASIL website. Thereafter, enter your MyKad NRIC (without the dashes) and key in your password. After logging in, there is a list of features available in e-Filing. For amendment, you can click on e-Application for Amended BE under e-Filing and proceed with the amendment process. 🙂
