Starting February 2025, the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) has rolled out a new, centralized platform for Monthly Tax Deductions (PCB) – called e-PCB Plus. This upgraded system aims to simplify and streamline how employers manage employee income tax deductions each month.
If you’re running a business or managing payroll, here’s what you need to know – and why this change is actually good news.
What Is e-PCB Plus?
e-PCB Plus is the latest version of Malaysia’s Monthly Tax Deduction (MTD/PCB) system, replacing the older platforms like:
- e-PCB
- e-Data PCB
- e-CP39
Now, everything is integrated into one portal through MyTax – making it easier to handle your payroll tax obligations in one place.
Key Benefits for Employers
i.One Platform for All PCB Functions
No more jumping between multiple systems. Everything from tax calculation to payment submission is handled in the MyTax portal.
ii.Auto-Calculation of Deductions
The system calculates the monthly tax deduction automatically based on your employee’s income – helping reduce errors and avoid under/overpayment.
iii.Real-Time Validation
Employee details are checked and validated instantly, minimizing mistakes that could delay processing.
iv.Direct Payments
You can now pay PCB directly through the platform with immediate confirmation and records – no need to upload separate proof of payment.
v. More User-Friendly
The new interface is designed for users with all levels of experience. Whether you’re a large company or a small business owner, the system is easier to navigate.
