[Step-by-step] MyTax: Apply for Employer/Employer Representative role

In order to submit forms E, CP8D or CP22 through e-filing, you will need to have an Employer or Employer Representative role. Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can apply for an employer role and/or appoint an employer representative in MyTax.

Applying for the Employer role

For Private Companies or Private Entities Other Than Companies 

One company director will need to apply for the role of Director in their MyTax account. The approval process takes up to 5 working days, and once completed, they will automatically be granted the Employer role. So, here’s a breakdown on how to do that:

1. Head over to https://mytax.hasil.gov.my/ and log in to your account.
2. Click on the profile icon at the top right.
3. Go to the third tab labelled ‘Role Application’.
4. Set ‘Role Type’ as ‘New Application’.
5. Set ‘Type of Application’ as ‘Directors of The Company’.
6. Enter your organisation’s TIN (Tax Identification Number).
7. Upload the following documents as supporting documents: (i) Certificate of Registration (Form 9/Form Section 17) and (ii) List of directors (Form 49/Form Section 14).
8. Click on the checkbox and press ‘Submit’.
9. Sit back, relax, and wait for the application to be processed – that will take up to 5 working days. The Status will change from ‘New’ to ‘Accepted’ once the application has been approved.
