New Employee & Exit Reporting (LHDN)

LHDN (IRBM) requires employers to notify them when an employee joins, leaves the company, or leaves the country. These forms are essential for keeping your tax records compliant and up to date.

AutoCount Cloud Payroll simplifies this process by allowing you to generate the correct forms automatically, ensuring timely and accurate submissions without manual errors.

At the end of each year, employers must submit Form E to LHDN and provide EA Forms to employees. AutoCount generates both of these in PDF and text format for direct submission to the LHDN portal.

Purpose: Employer declaration to LHDN on employee numbers & tax withheld

Due Date: By March 31 the following year
