GigTax

The Problem

Malaysia has 66% of knowledge workers running side hustles, plus 500K+ Grab/food delivery/Lalamove gig workers. The Gig Workers Act 2025 and e-invoicing mandate now require them to register businesses, file taxes, and contribute EPF/PERKESO — but nobody taught them how. Gig workers are overwhelmed by SSM registration forms, income tax computations, expense tracking, and quarterly CP500 payments. Many underreport income or skip filing entirely, risking LHDN penalties of up to 45% on unreported income.

The Solution

GigTax is a one-stop compliance app for Malaysian gig workers and freelancers. Auto-import earnings from Grab, Foodpanda, Lalamove, Fiverr, Upwork via API/platform statements → compute taxable income → suggest deductible expenses (petrol, phone, vehicle maintenance) → file LHDN Form B automatically. Built-in e-invoicing for B2B freelancers. Free tier (income

4-Week Validation Plan

• Week1: Interview 20 gig workers (Grab drivers, freelancers, food delivery) about their tax filing experience.
• Week2: Build income auto-import prototype for Grab + Foodpanda statement PDFs. Parse 50 real statements.
• Week3: Recruit 30 gig workers for beta. Measure time saved on tax prep and filing accuracy improvement.
• Week4: Analyze: >60% would pay for auto-filing AND parsing accuracy >95% = commit; <40% pay intent = pivot to manual bookkeeping tool.
