Form EA

Form EA is an annual income statement prepared by a company for employees’ tax submission purposes. According to the Income Tax 1967 (ITA 1967), Form EA must be given to the employees before 28th of February.

Some employers do not understand the content of Form EA due to language problems, so we have prepared Form EA in Chinese, English and Malay for employers so that employers can better fill in the Form EA.
