Introducing Taxsie: Automated Income Tax App for Malaysians
Between digging through old receipts, deciphering relief categories, and manually entering numbers into LHDN's e-Filing portal, the process feels unnecessarily painful for something that happens every single year.
Even if I hired accountants, I still have to clarify transactions manually between income or not income, which is... pointless because why am I paying for accountants if I still have to do those taxes myself?
So, we built Spendsie to fix that.
The Problem with Tax Filing in Malaysia
Malaysian taxpayers are entitled to a wide range of tax reliefs like medical expenses, education fees, lifestyle purchases, childcare, insurance premiums, and more. But claiming them correctly requires you to track every qualifying expense across the entire year.
In practice, most people don't. Receipts get lost. Bank statements pile up unreviewed.
When the filing deadline approaches, taxpayers either spend hours reconstructing their spending history or simply skip reliefs they're entitled to, aka, leaving money on the table.
The e-Filing system itself doesn't help either. It assumes you already have your numbers ready. There's no built-in way to track expenses, categorise them by relief type, or verify that you're claiming the right amounts under the right sections.
How Spendsie Solves This
Spendsie is a tax-first expense tracker designed specifically for Malaysian taxpayers. Instead of treating tax filing as a once-a-year scramble, Spendsie turns it into something that happens automatically in the background as you go about your daily spending.
Every expense you log is automatically mapped to the correct LHDN tax relief category. By the time filing season arrives, your tax form is essentially already done.
Features
Smart Expense Categorisation — Add an expense and Spendsie assigns it to the right relief category based on LHDN's latest guidelines. Medical bills, lifestyle purchases, education costs — each one goes where it belongs.
Receipt Storage — Upload photos of your receipts directly to each expense entry. No more shoeboxes of paper. Everything is stored digitally and linked to the correct transaction.
Tax Form Generation — When you're ready to file, Spendsie generates your BE or B tax form with all relief totals pre-calculated. Just transfer the numbers to e-Filing.
Real-Time Dashboard — See exactly how much you've claimed across every relief category, track your spending trends, and know your estimated tax savings at any point during the year.
Built for Malaysian Tax Law — Every category, spending cap, and rule in Spendsie follows current LHDN guidelines. This isn't a generic expense tracker with tax bolted on — it's built from the ground up for Malaysian taxpayers.
Stop Leaving Money on the Table
Most Malaysians underfile their tax reliefs simply because tracking expenses is too tedious. Spendsie removes that friction entirely. Track as you spend, and file with confidence when the time comes.
