Without monthly deductions, you might need to pay a much larger amount when submitting your annual income tax return. Regular deductions make the payment more manageable and help reduce the risk of an unexpected tax bill.<\/section>\r\n<section>Your employer deducts the amount before paying your net salary. This is why your take-home pay is lower than the gross salary shown in your employment contract. The deduction also helps HASiL collect employment income tax during the year rather than waiting until employees submit their returns.<\/section>\r\n<section><\/section>\r\n<section>\r\n<pre><strong>Read also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.info-tech.com.my\/blog\/how-to-file-income-tax\/\"><strong>A Simple, Clear Guide to Filing &amp; Paying Income Tax in Malaysia<\/strong><\/a><\/pre>\r\n<h2><strong>Who Needs to Pay PCB in Malaysia?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<section id=\"section3\">PCB normally applies when an employee earns enough taxable employment income to have an income tax liability.<\/section>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<section>However, there is no single monthly salary at which every employee automatically starts paying it. Two people earning the same salary may have different deductions because the calculation can be affected by:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Tax residency status<\/li>\r\n<li>Marital status<\/li>\r\n<li>Whether a spouse earns an income<\/li>\r\n<li>Number of eligible children<\/li>\r\n<li>EPF contributions<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.malaysia.gov.my\/en\/categories\/finance-tax-and-zakat\/managing-zakat\/paying-zakat\"><strong>Zakat payments<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li>Tax reliefs and rebates<\/li>\r\n<li>Previous employment during the same year<\/li>\r\n<li>Bonuses, commissions and other additional income<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nHASiL states that a single individual generally needs a Tax Identification Number when annual employment income exceeds RM34,001 after EPF deductions. The threshold shown for a married individual with an unemployed spouse is RM46,001. These are TIN registration guidelines rather than one fixed PCB salary limit.<\/section>\r\n<section><\/section>\r\n<section>The safest way to check an expected deduction is to use the official HASiL PCB calculator rather than relying on a general salary estimate.\r\n<pre><strong>Read also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.info-tech.com.my\/blog\/mytax-malaysia-registration\/\"><strong>How to Apply for MyTax Malaysia Online?

HASiL publishes updated calculation specifications for payroll systems, including the 2026 specifications.<\/section>\r\n<section>The calculation generally considers:\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Your current monthly remuneration<\/li>\r\n<li>Income received earlier in the year<\/li>\r\n<li>EPF contributions and other permitted deductions<\/li>\r\n<li>Applicable tax reliefs and rebates<\/li>\r\n<li>PCB already deducted during previous months<\/li>\r\n<li>Additional remuneration such as bonuses or commissions<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nBecause Malaysia uses progressive individual income tax rates, the tax rate increases as chargeable income rises. A bonus or salary increase may therefore cause a higher PCB deduction in that particular month.<\/section>\r\n<section><\/section>\r\n<section>Employees can check an estimated amount through <a href=\"https:\/\/calcpcbplus.hasil.gov.my\/HITS_CE\/x2026?PRV_YEAR=true&amp;FRS_REC=true\"><strong>HASiL\u2019s official PCB calculator<\/strong><\/a>.<\/section>\r\n<section><br \/>\r\n<pre><strong>Read also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.info-tech.com.my\/blog\/payroll-calculation-formula-in-malaysia-epf-socso-pcb\/\"><strong>Payroll Calculation Formula Malaysia 2026 | EPF, SOCSO &amp; PCB<\/strong><\/a><\/pre>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_3832\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3832\" style=\"width: 606px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3832 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.info-tech.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Malaysia-Monthly-Tax-Deduction-Process-2.png\" alt=\"Malaysia Monthly Tax Deduction Process\" width=\"606\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.info-tech.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Malaysia-Monthly-Tax-Deduction-Process-2.png 606w, https:\/\/www.info-tech.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Malaysia-Monthly-Tax-Deduction-Process-2-293x300.png 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3832\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PCB Process<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<h2><strong>What Types of Income Can Affect PCB?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<section id=\"section5\">PCB is mainly connected to income received through employment.

Someone receiving irregular commissions, overtime or a year-end bonus may see the PCB amount change.<\/section>\r\n<section><\/section>\r\n<section>Freelance income, rental income and income from a separate business are not normally known to your employer.

An overpayment may happen when you qualify for reliefs that were not considered by your employer.<\/section>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<section>HASiL also allows PCB to be treated as final tax in certain qualifying cases.
