(Tax Update) LHDN’s New E-PCB PLUS System

Dear Valued KTP Clients,

We hope this newsletter finds you well. We have some crucial updates from the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) that we believe you should be aware of. LHDN has recently made an early announcement regarding the transition to the new E-PCB PLUS system via the MyTax platform.

This transition is expected to bring significant changes to the way employers handle monthly tax deductions (PCB) for their employees. As your trusted partner in navigating the complex world of taxation, we want to ensure you are fully prepared for these upcoming changes.

Context

The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) has taken a proactive step by announcing an early transition to the E-PCB PLUS system, a move aimed at modernizing and streamlining the payroll tax deduction process for employers.

This transition is set to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of calculating and remitting monthly tax deductions (PCB) through the MyTax platform. Here’s what you need to know about this important development and how it might impact your business operations.

1. What is the E-PCB PLUS System?

The E-PCB PLUS system is an upgraded electronic platform introduced by LHDN to simplify the monthly tax deduction process for employers. Unlike the current system, the E-PCB PLUS system integrates directly with the MyTax platform, offering a more comprehensive and user-friendly experience.

This new system will not only streamline the calculation of PCB but also improve the accuracy of data submission, reducing the likelihood of errors and ensuring compliance with tax regulations.

2. Why is LHDN Making This Transition?

The transition to the E-PCB PLUS system reflects LHDN’s commitment to embracing digital transformation and enhancing its services for taxpayers. By adopting this new system, LHDN aims to provide a more efficient, transparent, and reliable tax filing experience for employers.

The E-PCB PLUS system is designed to reduce administrative burdens, minimize errors in PCB calculations, and facilitate easier access to tax records through the MyTax portal.

3. Key Features and Benefits for Employers

Employers will benefit from several new features with the E-PCB PLUS system. These include automated updates on the latest tax rates, a streamlined interface for submitting employee tax data, and enhanced security measures to protect sensitive information.

The system’s integration with the MyTax platform allows employers to manage all their tax-related activities in one place, from filing tax returns to monitoring payment statuses.

This centralized approach will save time and reduce the hassle associated with managing multiple tax filings.

4. Preparing for the Transition: What Should You Do?

To ensure a smooth transition to the E-PCB PLUS system, we recommend that all employers familiarize themselves with the new system requirements and functionalities. LHDN is expected to provide detailed guidelines and training sessions in the coming months to help employers adapt to the new platform.

We also encourage you to review your current payroll processes and systems to ensure compatibility with the E-PCB PLUS system.
