Who gets a refund
If the PCB or instalments you paid are more than your final tax, the difference is overpaid tax. LHDN's FAQ says you don't need to apply separately if you filed on time, because the refund is processed automatically [FAQ Q55].
Refund timelines
| Situation | LHDN timeline | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Return filed by e-Filing | 30 working days after submission | [LHDN] |
| Return filed by post or by hand | 90 working days after submission | [LHDN] |
| Return filed after the deadline | Processed after a late-submission penalty is imposed | [FAQ Q57] |
| Refund approved but paid by cheque | Cheque processed within 14 working days of approval | [FAQ Q60] |
LHDN says these timelines depend on correct and complete information in the return, and on supporting documents if LHDN asks for them [LHDN].
