What is EA Form / Borang EA?

The Borang EA or the EA form is a yearly remuneration statement that every employee in the private sector will receive. The EA form contains information of an employee’s statutory contributions, wages, additional remunerations, additional deductions and current rebates.

Why are EA forms important?

EA forms are crucial for our personal income tax. When declaring our income tax, we can use the EA form as a reference to declare the correct amount of annual earnings and deduction. We can also use the EA form to check if we are above the pay grade that requires us to pay taxes.

EA forms are provided by the employer(company) to their employees. Employer’s have to prepare and issue the EA forms by the end of February every year. If an employer fails to comply with this deadline, they risk facing a fine of RM200-RM20,000 or imprisonment for a term of no longer than 6 months.
