Income Tax Number (TIN) Malaysia: How to Find Yours

Your income tax number is called the Tax Identification Number, or TIN (Nombor Pengenalan Cukai). LHDN uses it to identify you as a taxpayer, and you need it to file your income tax return.

What a TIN looks like

For individuals, the TIN starts with the prefix IG, followed by numbers, up to 14 characters in total. The prefix IG replaces the older OG and SG prefixes, and the numbers stay the same.

Do I automatically have a TIN?

LHDN registers TINs automatically for Malaysian citizens and permanent residents aged 18 and above, using data from the National Registration Department. Other people, such as those with no MyKad record, may need to apply.

How to find your TIN

Log in to MyTax at mytax.hasil.gov.my and use the TIN search. You can also find it on the front page of your income tax return, or call the HASiL Contact Centre at 03-8911 1000 or visit an LHDN office.

How to apply for a TIN

Since 1 January 2024, individuals who need a TIN apply online through e-Daftar on the MyTax portal.

Why it matters for your salary

Employers use your TIN when they report your PCB (monthly tax deduction) to LHDN. To see how much tax your salary produces, use the income tax calculator.
