Malaysian Income Tax Reporting System for YA2026

The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (“IRBM”) continues the Malaysian Income Tax Reporting System (“MITRS”) for the Year of Assessment (“YA”) 2026. The system remains the platform for corporate taxpayers and limited liability partnerships (“LLPs”) to submit specific documentation electronically as required under Section 82B of the Income Tax Act, 1967 (“ITA”).

Most requirements for YA2026 are the same as those for YA2025 and the changes are highlighted in blue. For a detailed overview of the MITRS framework and its initial implementation, please refer to our article on MITRS for YA2025 at:
https://www.kaizencpa.com/Knowledge/info/id/1943.html

  1. Regulatory Framework and Objectives

    Section 82B of the ITA empowers the Director General of Inland Revenue to require taxpayers to furnish specific documents for the purpose of determining chargeable income and tax payable.

    MITRS serves as the official platform for submitting such documents electronically. The system standardises submission formats, facilitates verification of information and supports the enforcement of tax regulations.

    For YA2026, MITRS continues to be the medium through which corporate taxpayers and LLPs are required to submit the documents specified under compliance, track submissions and manage documentation effectively.

    The introduction of MITRS on 1 April 2025 applies only to company and Limited Liability Partnership has now extended to taxpayers falling within the categories of Unit Trusts / Property Trusts, Co-operative Societies, Trust Bodies and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS) / Property Trust Funds.

    The table below illustrates the implementation timeline for different categories of taxpayers:
