Freelancers, creators, and side hustlers: this is your sign to stop pretending you'll "figure out taxes later" (we get it, taxes can be confusing)
There's an upcoming dedicated tax workshop for freelancers this 19 May at Awegallery, Petaling Jaya.
If you've been struggling, this sounds like something every freelancer, content creator, and small business owner could use right now.
Organised by (only) just studio in collaboration with tax firm Adrian Yeo, this two-hour session aims to break down how taxes actually work for freelancers and creators in Malaysia, without the confusing jargon
The workshop will cover everything from Malaysia's tax system and tax deadlines to how the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) currently views content creators and freelancers.
Yes, that includes sponsored posts, gifted items, and "free stuff" too.
There'll also be guidance on what expenses you can actually claim, how e-Invoicing affects freelancers, and the common compliance mistakes people make when filing taxes.
Basically, it's the kind of stuff most of us wish someone taught in school.
Here's what the workshop will cover:
– Malaysia's tax landscape
– How LHDN views content creators now
– What counts as taxable income (including cash and gifted items)
– What expenses creators and freelancers can claim
– Compliance checklist: forms, accounts, and deadlines
– E-Invoice impacts
– Mini case studies and interactive FAQs
– Q&A session
