Income tax is a complicated system and income tax relief may be applicable to eligible employees.\n\nThere are also statutory contributions and levies to be aware of. The three compulsory contributions are to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF\/KWSP), the Social Security Organisation (SOCSO) and the Employment Insurance System (EIS). The Human Resources Development Fund (HDRF) also applies to businesses with more than ten employees. Other contributions and levies may apply.\n<h2>What is the monthly tax deduction (MTD) \/ Potongan Cukai Bulanan (PCB)?<\/h2>\nThe monthly tax deduction (MTD), more commonly referred to as the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/solutions\/pcb-statutory-calculations\/\">Potongan Cukai Bulanan (PCB)<\/a>, is a monthly payment that is made by an employer to the Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN) \/ Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) on their employee\u2019s behalf, on or before the 15th day of the next month.\n\nYou can learn more about what\u2019s required to calculate the PCB\/MTD in our payroll guide.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5896 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/07\/austin-distel-jpHw8ndwJ_Q-unsplash-1-scaled-2.jpg\" alt=\"Two people sitting on a couch in a modern office, smiling and looking at a laptop together\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/>\n<h2>Common payroll mistakes businesses make<\/h2>\n<h3>Inadequate record keeping<\/h3>\nStill using old school pieces of paper to log your employees\u2019 payroll documentation? As it\u2019s so easy for paper to be misplaced or incorrectly filed, this could leave you open to liability if you were to be audited.\n\nIn today\u2019s digital age, record keeping is easy. With so many software options available to help manage payroll, payslips, timesheets and your employees\u2019 time and attendance, there\u2019s no excuse for not having the correct records.\n<h3>Incorrect set up of your payroll system<\/h3>\nAs you can see above, there are plenty of contributions and levies to keep track of in payroll management. As well as paying an employee\u2019s basic salary correctly, you want to make sure that all payments are set up properly and going to the correct place.\n\nImagine if you\u2019ve been paying a team 10% under their correct EPF\/KWSP contributions for the last five years? Think about how much you\u2019d be required to pay back, and the additional penalties that may apply.\n<h3>Forgetting about the employee experience<\/h3>\nEmployees want to be informed about their pay just as much as you do. If you aren\u2019t providing them with quick access to their payslips, it can be incredibly frustrating.\n\nPayslips are essential records that you are obligated to provide to your employees, but don\u2019t make them wait for a paper document each salary period. Giving them access to cloud-based payslips (like those on 91爆料), can help them feel empowered to review their income information anytime, anywhere.\n<h2>How can payroll software help?<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/products\/payroll-software\/\">Payroll software<\/a> can make a significant difference when it comes to processing an employee\u2019s salary.\n\nFully integrated with the IRBM\/LHDN, pay your people faster than ever with automated payroll from 91爆料.
