This is known as the CP39 statement.\n<h3>Annual income tax deadline<\/h3>\nEmployers are required to submit Form E to IRBM by 31st March 2023, to report annual returns to the government for all employees.\n\n<strong>Download the factsheet for a complete list of all the deadlines you need to be aware of.<\/strong>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8620 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/image1.png\" alt=\"A group of professionals in a meeting, with one individual leading the discussion while others listen attentively\" width=\"1728\" height=\"1014\" \/>\n<h2>How can employers prepare for the tax period?<\/h2>\nHere&#8217;s what employers should do to prepare for the busy tax period.\n<h3>1. Ensure your employees\u2019 details are accurate and up-to-date<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s nothing more frustrating than running into errors when you\u2019re submitting your tax file to the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/glossary\/inland-revenue-board-malaysia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM\/LHDN)<\/a>. Especially when such errors can be easily avoided. It\u2019s important to ensure you aren\u2019t missing any employee\u2019s address or personal details, which are mandatory for tax filing purposes.\n\nIf you have a payroll software like <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/products\/payroll-software\/\">91爆料<\/a> that enables employee self-service, that would make things so much more fuss-free and convenient. Employees can easily login to the platform to make changes whenever needed, and these updates will be reflected across the entire system. You\u2019ll never encounter missing information when submitting your tax returns again.\n<h3>2. Be familiar with the tax forms that need to be submitted<\/h3>\nThere are various income tax return forms that need to be submitted to the IRBM\/LHDN during tax season \u2014 you\u2019ll find tax processing less of a chore if you\u2019re familiar with what forms are needed and what they\u2019re for.\n\nThese include Form E, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/glossary\/ea-form\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Form EA<\/a>, Form STD\/PCB(II), and more.\n<h3>3. Have a checklist of all the employer obligations you need to fulfil<\/h3>\nWith so many items on your to-do list once tax season rolls around, it\u2019s best to stay on top of everything with a handy checklist. You definitely don\u2019t want to be incurring a fine or imprisonment term due to non-compliance.\n\nHere\u2019s a recommended checklist for you:\n<ul>\n \t<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Register employer file number<\/li>\n \t<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Submit employer return form (Form E)<\/li>\n \t<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Declare new employees<\/li>\n \t<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Issue income statement to employees (Form EA\/EC)<\/li>\n \t<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Double check any employee\u2019s details which have been newly updated<\/li>\n \t<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Complete monthly tax deductions and send to IRBM\/LHDN<\/li>\n \t<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Notify employees to submit TP1 form (claim of deduction\/rebate for individuals) and TP3 form (previous employment information in current year)<\/li>\n \t<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Keep records of all documentation for 7 years<\/li>\n \t<li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\">Withhold any money payable to an employee for 90 days or until <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/termination-service-tax-clearance\/\">a tax clearance letter<\/a> is received, in the case of cessation of employment, cessation by reason of death, or if the employee is leaving Malaysia for more than 3 months with no intention of returning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What do employers need to consider when paying income tax?<\/h2>\nThere are mandatory statutory contributions alongside the monthly tax deduction that employers need to be familiar with.\n<h3>Monthly Tax Deduction (MTD)<\/h3>\nEmployers are required to make a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/glossary\/monthly-tax-deduction-mtd-pcb\/\">monthly tax deduction (MTD)<\/a> directly from an employee\u2019s salary \u2014 it is also referred to as <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/solutions\/pcb-statutory-calculations\/\"><em>Potongan Cukai Bulanan (PCB)<\/em><\/a>. Employers need to pay this tax amount to the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM\/LHDN) on the employee\u2019s behalf on or before the 15th of the next month.\n<h3>Social Security Organisation (SOCSO)<\/h3>\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/glossary\/social-security-organization-socso\/\">Social Security Organisation (SOCSO)<\/a> manages social security funds in Malaysia, and was created with the aim of providing social security protection to Malaysians. It comprises two social protection schemes \u2014 the Employment Injury Insurance Scheme, and the Invalidity Pension Scheme.\n\nSOCSO contributions are mandatory for all employees, regardless of whether they are a Malaysian citizen, permanent resident, or foreign worker.\n\nEmployers are required to contribute monthly on behalf of each eligible employee, and employee contributions must be deducted from an employee\u2019s wage, in line with rates outlined in the Employees\u2019 Social Security Act (1969).\n\nThe contribution rates are split into two categories \u2014 and depend on the employee\u2019s age (whether they are older or younger than 60), and their rate of pay.\n<h3>Employees Provident Fund (EPF)<\/h3>\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/glossary\/employee-provident-fund\/\">Employees Provident Fund (EPF)<\/a> is a government fund aimed at assisting Malaysians in saving for their retirement, in accordance with the Employees Provident Fund Act (1991).\n\nEPF payments are only applicable to citizens and permanent residents, and optional for foreign workers. These payments are to be deducted from the employee\u2019s salary, and paid to the EPF by the employer on the employee\u2019s behalf. Employers must also separately make their own EPF contributions on behalf of each eligible employee.\n\nYou can find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kwsp.gov.my\/employer\/contribution\/all-about-your-responsibility\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EPF contribution rates here<\/a>.\n<h3>Employment Insurance Scheme (EIS)<\/h3>\nAnother contribution that must be deducted from an employee\u2019s wage is the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/glossary\/employment-insurance-system\/\">Employment Insurance Scheme (EIS)<\/a>. It applies to most Malaysian citizens and permanent residents, with the exception of government employees, domestic workers, those who are self-employed, and employees aged 57 and above who have no prior contributions before the age of 57.\n\nContribution rates to the EIS are set at 0.4% of the employee\u2019s assumed monthly salary. 0.2% will be paid by the employer while 0.2% will be deducted from the employee\u2019s monthly salary. Contribution rates are capped at an assumed monthly salary of RM4000.\n\nManaged by the Social Security Organization (SOCSO), the EIS is designed to support employees if they lose their job. Workers who become unemployed can access up to 6 months of support through the scheme as they seek new employment.\n<h3>Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF)<\/h3>\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/hrdcorp.gov.my\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF)<\/a> levy is a mandatory contribution if you employ ten or more people, established under the Human Resources Development Act 1992. Firms with 10 or more local employees are obligated to register, while firms with 5 to 9 local employees have the option to register. This fund supports the training and upskilling of employees, apprentices and trainees in the Malaysian workforce.\n\nThe HRDF levy rate for each Malaysian employee is calculated as a percentage of each employee\u2019s total monthly wages, inclusive of fixed allowances. Other variable allowances such as travel allowance, petrol allowance, parking allowance or internship allowance should not be included.\n\nThe HRDF levy rates are 1% of each employee\u2019s monthly wages if a company employs 10 or more Malaysian employees. Exceptions apply \u2014 employers of domestic servants are not required to pay the levy.\n\nAccording to HRDF regulations, once your company reaches 10 Malaysian employees, you must continue contributing at 1% for the whole calendar year \u2014 even if your headcount falls to fewer than 10 employees during the year.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8621 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/image2.png\" alt=\"A person using a calculator and holding a piece of paper, working at a desk with a laptop in the background\" width=\"1728\" height=\"1014\" \/>\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2>What is the tax rate for payroll in Malaysia?<\/h2>\nThe income tax rates in Malaysia are dependent on an employee\u2019s residence status. This is determined by the time spent in Malaysia, and not their nationality or citizenship.\n<h3>Tax rates for non-resident employees<\/h3>\nNon-resident employees are taxed at a flat rate of 30%. They are also not entitled to any of the tax reliefs enjoyed by residents.\n\nExemptions apply \u2014 individuals will not be subject to these income tax rates if:\n<ul>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">They are employed in Malaysia for fewer than 60 days;<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">They are employed on board a Malaysian ship;<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">They are aged 55 or over and receiving pension from Malaysian employment;<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">They are a non-resident director of a Malaysian company;<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">They are a public entertainer;<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Their income comes from interest received from banks; or<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Their income comes from tax-exempt dividends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Tax rates for resident employees<\/h3>\nResident employees will be taxed at a graduated rate of 0% to 30%, depending on their income. The first RM5,000 earned is tax free. Any income above that amount is subsequently taxed on a progressive basis.\n\nResident employees will also be able to claim tax reliefs such as personal and family deductions, rebates, etc which will reduce their taxable income.\n\nYou can find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hasil.gov.my\/en\/individual\/individual-life-cycle\/how-to-declare-income\/tax-rate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full list <\/a>of personal income tax rates imposed by the Inland Revenue Board here.\n<h2>Common payroll mistakes that Malaysian employers make<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Paying employees their wages late<\/h3>\nAccording to the Employment Act 1955, employers are required to payout monthly wages to employees by the 7th day of the following month, or earlier. Employees can file a complaint with the Labour Department if they do not receive their salary payments on time.\n\nThe department will then launch an investigation based on the supporting documents provided, and escalate it to the Labour Court if both parties are unable to come to an agreement on the claim.\n<h3>2. Miscalculation of payroll deductibles like EPF<\/h3>\nIt is a pretty common mistake for employee provident fund contributions to be calculated wrongly. This is because the amount should not be calculated based on the exact percentage of the employee\u2019s salary, but rather, based on the contribution rates outlined in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kwsp.gov.my\/documents\/20126\/140690\/Jadual+Ketiga+BI.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Third Schedule of the EPF Act 1991<\/a>.\n\nHere\u2019s an example of an accurate and inaccurate calculation:\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8634 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/02\/MY-Payroll-Factsheet-1.png\" alt=\"A table comparing payroll calculations with details on salary, employer's share, employee's share, total contribution, and calculation accuracy\" width=\"1728\" height=\"649\" \/>\n\nThe only exception where employers can use exact percentages to calculate an employee\u2019s EPF contribution amount, is if the employee is earning more than RM20,000 per month. The total amount which includes cents should then be rounded up to the nearest ringgit.\n<h3>3. Miscalculation of overtime payment<\/h3>\nUnder the Employment Act, employees with wages of up to RM4,000\/month are entitled to overtime compensation. Any hours of work carried out in excess of the normal hours of work per day will be classified as overtime work.\n\nHowever, it can be easy to miscalculate overtime payments due to the different rates that apply, which depend on whether the overtime hours are during a normal work day, rest days or public holidays.\n<h3>4. Error in employees\u2019 information<\/h3>\nThe status of employees changes from month to month, with regards to their salaries, job levels, allowances, deductions, tax rates and more. It can be hard to keep track of changes across an SME or a huge organisation if manual processes are still in place. Without the latest updates and information, there will likely be mistakes in payroll processes so clear and timely communication is key.\n<h3>5. Misclassification of employees<\/h3>\nClassifying employees accurately can be confusing especially when the organisation comprises full-time employees, part-time employees, temporary employees, and independent contractors. They are also paid differently and with varying frequencies \u2014 some are paid a fixed amount monthly while others are paid hourly or based on the amount of work done.\n<h3>6. Inadequate record keeping<\/h3>\nIf you\u2019re still using old school files and paperwork for <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/what-is-bookkeeping\/\">bookkeeping<\/a>, it\u2019s time to change things up.
