Malaysian Employment Taxation: The Ultimate Guide

Getting employment tax right is mission-critical. Misclassification of remuneration, incorrect deductions, or missed filings can expose organisations to penalties and erode employee trust. This 2-day, hands-on workshop equips HR, payroll and finance teams with a practical grasp of Malaysia’s employment tax ] landscape—how the system works and what the law expects of employers and employees under the Income Tax Act 1967.Participants learn to classify and tax the full range of remuneration—cash, benefits in kind (BIK), value of living accommodation (VOLA), pensions, and compensation for loss of employment—through worked examples and case studies. You’ll master residency rules and their impact (including expatriate scenarios and double tax agreements), and apply reliefs, rebates, and exemptions correctly to minimise errors. The course also covers Monthly Tax Deductions (PCB/MTD) end-to-end, year-end administration, and EA form preparation with reconciliation best practices—so your payroll-to-tax process is accurate and audit-ready. Finally, you’ll tackle modern realities such as remote and cross-border work, and learn to avoid common pitfalls through targeted exercises.
