If you're a Malaysian, All you have to do to obtain an income tax number as of last year is simply turn 18. In order to maintain the sustainability of the nation's revenue, the tax system underwent a series of adjustments as part of Budget 2022. One of these involves expanding the tax base, which is accomplished by registering people for income tax automatically.

Because of this, if you are over 18 or own a business that is registered with SSM, you already have what is now known as a Tax Identification Number (TIN), sometimes known as an income tax number.

"How do I get my TIN number then?"

There a few methods you can try to obtain your TIN number, as listed below:
