The Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) has started sending Monthly Tax Deduction (MTD) notifications to individual taxpayers via email, effective 17 September 2025.

The new initiative provides taxpayers with regular updates on their deductions and ensures that payments made by employers are properly recorded.

Monthly Updates Sent Through MyTax Portal

In a statement, LHDN said the notifications for August were sent to the email addresses registered by taxpayers through the MyTax portal.

The board explained that the email notifications confirm that MTD deductions made by employers have been remitted and credited into each taxpayer’s ledger, as part of Malaysia’s personal income tax process.

“This initiative demonstrates LHDN’s commitment to assuring taxpayers that deductions made by employers have been duly remitted and credited into their respective tax ledgers,” it said.

Strengthening Digital Service Delivery

LHDN stated that the initiative is part of its effort to enhance digital service delivery and promote the MyTax portal as the main communication channel between the board and taxpayers.

By using email notifications, the board aims to make it easier for taxpayers to verify their deduction records and access up-to-date information on their accounts.

Keep Contact Details Updated In MyTax

Taxpayers are advised to ensure that their email addresses in the MyTax portal are valid and up to date to receive monthly notifications without interruption.

MTD payment details can be checked via the MTD link in the portal, while detailed account information is available through the Ledger link.

Part Of LHDN’s Digital Modernisation Efforts

According to LHDN, this initiative forms part of its broader plan to modernise tax administration and improve transparency in the MTD process. The board said it remains committed to providing accurate, timely, and convenient updates through official digital channels.
