KUALA LUMPUR, March 5 — Employers must inform the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) of employee terminations or deaths using Form CP22A for government employees and CP22B for private sector employees. The notification should be submitted at least 30 days before termination or within 30 days of an employee’s death to facilitate tax clearance.
Employers are also required to withhold any payments due to the employee for 90 days or until the IRB issues a tax clearance letter. Effective Sept 1, 2024, all amendments or additions to employee information must be processed via the e-SPC system on the MyTax portal, while cancellations can still be done manually.
Employers must also issue EA and EC statements by Feb 28 each year to ensure timely tax filing. Additionally, they are urged to register under the new e-PCB Plus system before its full implementation, replacing existing tax deduction platforms for a more streamlined process.
