TAX HELP / TAX AUDIT
Received an LHDN audit notice? Start by understanding what is being reviewed.
An audit is a review of tax returns and supporting records. Receiving a notice does not, by itself, mean wrongdoing.
Enquire →PRACTICAL GUIDANCE
Why might a business be audited?
An audit may seek to verify income, expenses, deductions or reporting for a particular year. The important questions are what information is being requested and how the records support the figures reported.
What should you do first?
Confirm the notice type, reference number, years of assessment and response date. Preserve original records and reconcile relevant accounts before supplying explanations.
If you disagree with an audit finding
Ask for the basis of the proposed adjustment and review the evidence. An objection during an audit is different from a formal appeal against a notice of assessment.
When specialist input matters
Unusual transactions, large adjustments, connected-party payments or missing records deserve careful review by an appropriately qualified professional.
Frequently asked questions
Does an audit letter mean I owe additional tax?
No. Any additional tax depends on the findings, applicable law and formal assessment.
Can I ignore an audit request?
No. Check the notice and seek advice promptly if the scope or deadline is unclear.
