Monthly Tax Deduction (MTD or PCB) which was introduced on 1st January 1995, is a system of tax recovery where employers make deductions from their employees’ remuneration every month in accordance with the MTD Schedule. This is mandatory, in that neither the employer nor employee has any choice in the matter. Any deviation from the requirements of the Income Tax (Deduction from Remuneration) Rules 1994 can only be upon written authorization from IRBM.
MTD is an automatic deduction made every month, while CP 38 deduction arises only when IRBM issues a specific direction to the employer requiring him to make deductions of certain amounts for a specified number of months. Such CP 38 deductions are generally for settlement of outstanding taxes while MTD is on current income (Pay As You Earn – PAYE).
MTD (PCB) is due only on employment income, i.e., on remuneration that arises from a master servant relationship, and this includes all payment other than benefits-in-kind [Section 13(1)(b)], accommodation benefits [Section 13(1)(c)] and reimbursements. Employment income subject to MTD includes salary, wages, commission, overtime, allowances, director’ fees, tips and bonuses arising out of exercising the employment. The employer adds up such income, subtracts the employee’s EPF contribution (subject to a maximum of RM500 per month or RM 6000 per year), and deducts the MTD in accordance with the relevant category in the MTD Schedule that the employee comes under. However, where the payment is bonus or other lump sum payment, a special formula has to be adopted to determine the MTD.
In cases where the Director’s Fees is paid monthly together with other monthly remuneration, both the relevant amounts must be added together in order to determine the MTD.
For cases where only Director’s Fees is paid monthly, the MTD is determined in the usual manner. Where a director is paid a monthly remuneration and he receives Director’s Fees in a lump sum, the MTD is calculated by using the Bonus Formula.
In instances where the director receives only Director’s Fees and paid in a lump sum, the relevant amount is divided by the number of months for which the payment relates. MTD is determined accordingly and then multiplied by the number of months.
