Updated Malaysian Income Tax Calculator BE2008

It has been a while since i updated the blog. Well i thought i'd update it every now and then when i have useful info to share, plus when i have the time to spare from my current work and family commitments.. :)

anyway, LHDN had just published their format for "Borang BE2008", you can easily have a look at it at their official website: LHDN Website : Borang.

On another note, i've just updated my spreadsheet income tax calculator to incorporate the changes to the new layout of the upcoming e-filing as well as to upate some calcs in the existing one. Have a try out and let me know of any errors you find.

Borang BE Income Tax Calculator Revision 2 (rapidshare)

Just a hint, most values are 'editable' and therefore i hope that the calculator can be used to plan and estimate your taxes in years to come. I'll update the spreadsheet when there is a change in layout (especially when government introduces new cuts and additional exemptions) but basically the calculations can still be used. Hope it is useful to most of you.

EDIT: Check out the latest calculator for 2009 HERE

Hi,

You might also like to take a look at www.TAXSAYA.com. This is Malaysia First FREE Multi-Lingual Tax Software.

We are currently updating it for the 2008 filing. In the meantime, you can feel free to have a look at our website.

hi, you can check out bebas-hutang website at http://www.bebas-hutang.com for a direct download link or you can send me your email and i can email you the spreadsheet.

my spreadsheet is only based on LHDN's BE2008 format. However as the values are 'editable' you may change the value accordingly to plan for income tax year assesment 2009.

Hi,

Wondering will you provide the BE2009 version? I'm really appreciate for your effort. Thanks

Will you provide BE2009 version? Thanks

i am still waiting for the BE2009 format to be published by LHDN. I'll update it then. In the meantime, you can still check your income tax using my spreadsheet as all the values are 'editable', so just change the 'limit' value to reflect the current year's income tax limitations.

Thanks for your interest in the spreadsheet. Drop by again for the update.
