Log in to MyTax (mytax.hasil.gov.my) and open e-Lejar, your online tax account. It shows your assessments, payments, PCB credited by your employer, refunds and current balance. LHDN aims to process refunds within 30 working days of an e-Filed return (90 for paper returns). A balance not paid on time increases by 10%.
What does e-Lejar show?
e-Lejar is your tax account. According to LHDN, it shows:
- Your personal details on file, including address and bank account number
- Ledger transactions: tax assessments, tax payments and tax refunds
- Whether PCB deducted by your employer has been received and credited
- Whether your e-Filing assessment has been updated
- Your current tax balance
How do I check my tax balance and payments?
- Go to mytax.hasil.gov.my and log in with your identification number and password.
- Open e-Lejar.
- Pick the year of assessment and review the transactions and balance.
If you have never logged in, you first need a PIN. See how to register for MyTax.
How do I check my refund status?
Your refund appears as a ledger transaction in e-Lejar once LHDN has processed it, and refunds are paid into the bank account LHDN has on file. Check that account in e-Lejar before you file, since a wrong or closed account delays payment.
How long does an LHDN refund take?
LHDN's customer charter, on its refund page, sets these targets:
| How you filed | Refund target |
|---|---|
| e-Filing | 30 working days after submission |
| Post or hand delivery | 90 working days after submission |
The target assumes your return is complete and accurate and doesn't need supporting documents for review. For YA 2025, LHDN said refunds would start being credited in stages from the second week of March 2026 (media release, 6 March 2026). Filing early, with correct figures, is the most reliable way to get a refund sooner.
If the period has passed with no refund, LHDN advises contacting the branch that handles your tax file.
What if my e-Lejar shows a balance owing?
Pay it by the filing deadline. For YA 2025, the balance on Form BE was due 30 April 2026 and on Form B 30 June 2026, with the same 15-day grace period as e-Filing (2026 filing programme). For YA 2026, expect 30 April and 30 June 2027 until LHDN publishes the 2027 programme.
Paying late adds 10% to the tax owed under section 103(3) of the Income Tax Act 1967 (LHDN offences and penalties). You can pay online through LHDN's ByrHASiL service or at participating banks.
What if my PCB doesn't appear?
Compare your payslips with your Form EA first. If the PCB on your payslips is missing from e-Lejar, ask your employer to confirm they remitted it to LHDN under your tax number. If it is still missing, contact LHDN with your payslips.
What if a payment I made doesn't show?
Keep the payment receipt, check you used the right tax number, and allow a few working days for it to post. If it still doesn't appear, contact LHDN with the receipt.
What if the assessed amount looks wrong?
Compare it with the return you submitted. If you under-claimed reliefs or over-reported income, you can correct it with an amendment. If you made an error that increases your tax, submit an amended return within six months of the original due date. For anything else, contact the branch handling your file.
