Monthly tax deduction explained simply
PCB stands for Potongan Cukai Bulanan, also known as Monthly Tax Deduction. It is Malaysia's monthly income tax deduction system.
Instead of paying income tax in one large amount at the end of the year, PCB allows tax to be deducted gradually from monthly salary.
Employers calculate PCB based on employee income and deduct the amount from salary every month. The deducted PCB amount is then submitted to LHDN.
PCB helps employees spread their income tax payments across the year instead of paying everything at once.
Employees whose income exceeds the taxable threshold may be subject to PCB deductions.
Actual PCB depends on income level, tax reliefs, personal circumstances and current tax rules.
PCB is generally calculated based on estimated annual income. Higher income usually results in higher monthly PCB deductions.
