Mandatory Use of Form CKHT 502 via e-CKHT for Payments under Section 21B of the RPGTA
The Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (MIRB) issued a media release on 16 February 2023 on the mandatory use of Form CKHT 502 via e-CKHT on the MyTax Portal for the payment of retention sum pursuant to Section 21B of the RPGTA. This is in line with the implementation of the “bill number” which is to be used as a mandatory reference for certain tax-related payments effective from 1 January 2023.
The retention sum pursuant to Section 21B of the RPGTA refers to the case where the acquirer is required to retain 5% of the total value of consideration and remit to the Director General of Inland Revenue for payment of RPGT when the disposer disposes of its property within three (3) years from the date of acquisition.
New Guidance
The MIRB issued The Procedures for Completing Form CKHT 502 and Payment through e-CKHT by the Acquirer / Lawyer / Representative (available in the Malay language only).
Details of new Guidance
The “bill number” can be generated via the following steps:
- Visit the MyTax Portal (https://mytax.hasil.gov.my) and log in using your Identification number and password. If the acquirer does not have a Tax Identification Number (TIN), an application can be submitted via e-Daftar on the MyTax Portal.
- Select “e-CKHT” from the ezHasil services menu.
- Enter the acquirer’s TIN and select “Form CKHT 502”.
- Complete the necessary information and print out the payment slip. The “bill number” will be displayed on the payment slip.

Finance Bill 2023
The personal tax relief for contribution to the SSPN under Section 46(1)(k) of the MITA which was originally scheduled to expire in the year of assessment (YA) 2022 was not included in the Finance Bill 2023 which was issued on 14 March 2023.
