Four more days to deadline.

I am lucky one. My personal tax is handled by Miss C, my group Finance Manager, for years.

One designated person, same person every year. Like got auto-pilot.

Late April every year without fail,
Miss C routine on my personal tax :
Pass me the tax checklist
WhatsApp me politely here and there
Email me politely
Then appear at my office door

Not angry face. Not black face.

Just that professional face that says :
“Boss, please don’t make me chase you until 14 May.”
That face more powerful than LHDN reminder.

And me? Classic Malaysia syndrome.

“Still got time lah.”
“Too early mah.”
“Aiya, this week very busy.”
“Why so hurry?l

Last week,
I promise Miss C “Friday confirm send.”
Friday come. Friday go. I miss.

Weekend? Whatsapp over weekend
Then “No time to dig lah.”

Today, Panic mode finally.

Insurance. Books. Lifestyle. Medical. Donation. Shopee history. WhatsApp old messages.

Drawer. PC. Handphone.

At one point I realise … this is not tax filing already.
This is habit by nature.

Last week, LHDN urge taxpayers swipe for tax-relief item with an tax e-invoice.

Because people like me always keep bill/ receipt“Somewhere safe.”

Then one year later, cannot remember where the safe place is.

Eventually Miss C done up my computation.

My turn to review.
Same 3 standard questions like majority of taxpayer, every year :

“Why so much tax ah? Are you sure?”
“Any more relief I can claim ah?”
(with cheeky face) “I know you the boss personally but check one more time can?”

Miss C just look at me.
I look at Miss C.
She knows. I also know.

If you also kena procrastinate syndrome :
You not alone. Even tax agent also like that.

4 days more. Don’t wait already.

Now, start the e-invoice habit. Trust me.

Your tax, got a Miss C also or not? Someone who chase you, remind you, cover your back when you forget? Time to appreciate he or her

If no… maybe that’s why every tax season feel like fire-fighting. 🔥

This is no longer tax planning.
This is taxpayer emotional support.

Miss C put up with my typical Malaysia taxpayer syndrome.

Thank you, Miss C 🙏
