Contract worker without EA form

[julee]

Hi there, i changed my job last year from a permanent to a contractual basis. I've received the EA form from my previous company, and my current company (contract) does not give me EA form. I do not get EPF benefits from the current company, and my salary is lump sum (no EPF/SOCSO/TAX deduction). I do not get the payslip as well (the ones with the holes at the side, to tear off), but i do have the pay advice slip issued by the company for my reference.

How should I declare my BE form? Should i just add up the total earnings from last year, and deduct the relief like normal? This is my first time filing for income tax  ...

Help appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Julee,

Since you changed your job from permanent to contract last year, then you should no longer be filing a Borang BE....instead you should now file a Borang BE (which is due in June).

You will now how 2 sources of income for your 2009 filing (being your employment & contract income).

It would also be useful to know the nature of your contract employment, as you may may deductible expenses.  If this is the case, then you should prepare a Profit and Loss account.
