Employers having problem in submitting Form CP 8D on or before 31 March 2009 are given extension of time till 31 May 2009 to submit the said Form. However, employers are reminded that they still have to submit Form E by 31 March 2009.

EA FORM (FORM CP8A)

(i) Scope of Part G

The IRB has informed that the amount to be reported in Part G of the EA Form (Form CP 8A) includes allowances/perquisites/gifts/benefits which are already accorded exemption prior to the announcement of Budget 2009. Please refer to the Notes to Part G of Form EA attached to the 2008 Form E or to Part F at page 3 of the Explanatory Notes to the 2008 Form E.

(ii) Concession on Compliance

Members are informed that employers having problems complying with the new Form EA format (Form EA – Rev 2008) may file the Form EA using the old format (Form EA – Rev 2005). This effectively removes the need to disclose Part G of the EA Form. However, members are reminded that this concession is granted for filing of the form relating to income for the year 2008 only.
