For this post, I will be sharing my 2009 IRB tax refund.
How I got my 2009 IRB tax refund
To start with, I submitted my 2009 income tax in April 2010 through e-Filing. In fact, the process was very fast and convenient too.
So, for my 2009 tax return, I have an overpaid amount. My employer deducts the tax on a
Well, not a big amount but it is my money and I want it to be returned to me.
Then, I read from local news that IRB will refund the overpaid tax within a month from the date of submission. E
Towards June 2010 which is about 2 months after I submitted my e-Filing, I have not received any news on my tax refund yet.
So, I sent an email to IRB through the Customer Feedback System to enquire about the status of my refund.
Two days after that I received a reply from th
Then, about 2 weeks from the date of my email, I received the cheque from IRB.
In my case, I didn’t receive the refund within one month of my income tax submission. But, overall I am quite satisfied with their prompt reply to my request. This is quite an impressive improvement for IRB.
Final thoughts
Hoping that for 2010 tax return, taxpayers will receive their tax refund within one month time, as mentioned by IRB.

Hi Sis Yan..
A very good info sharing 🙂
Hi PG, thanks for dropping by 🙂
I did my e-Filing in end-March this year and I received my tax refund 28 days later. I really surprise on IRB's efficiency.
May be you could try to submit your tax return before the dateline and you might be able to receive your refund within the 30-day period.
Hi LSC, good suggestion. Perhaps next year I should file in income tax earlier… 🙂
Hi, the email I got was [email protected].
May I know which email address you file your complaint?
Yup..i was shock also at first at the speed of my tax refunds.
Hopefully, this applies to all gov agencies. I did the online filing though.
Hi Kris, yes 🙂 I hope it applies to other gov agencies/bodies too.. 🙂
hi. I just received my overpaid Income tax cheque last week. Cool….
Just to share with u all.EPF is the most efficient department among others. My staffs who are retired 55 years old received their EPF money direct to their acct on the day of their birthday.sharp..!!(if they submit their form in advance)..very cool..
i still didn't get my tax refund until now..only got letter from IRB 3 months ago saying that they need to clarify further on my tax refund…
Hi Kiki Solar Girl, that's great to know 🙂 This is what we want as well 🙂 Wow.. sharp sharp on their birthday.. that's quite an impressive improvement.
Anonymous, perhaps you can call to your local LHDN centre or email them? 3 months is quite a long time…
Guys,,,I am struggling n i have visited 4 times and yet to get my refund….There is no unique process and every time I visit I have been asked for different documents..
Hi there, i see. sorry to hear about that. maybe you can send email or send a letter to them (to have black and white) instead of visiting them.
