Form BE applies to salaried individuals in Malaysia who derive income primarily from employment and do not carry on a business. While Form BE is often perceived as straightforward, many taxpayers unknowingly make mistakes that can result in penalties, backdated tax assessments, or unnecessary queries from the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN). Errors commonly arise from incorrect relief claims, omission of taxable benefits, or inconsistencies between employer-provided information and the tax return submitted.
