Introduction
Running payroll isn’t complete until you’ve met your statutory reporting obligations. In Malaysia, this includes monthly submissions to KWSP, PERKESO, and LHDN. This post explains what reports you must submit, how often, and how AutoCount Cloud Payroll automates the process.
Monthly Statutory Reports You Must Submit
| Report / Form | Body | Submission Deadline | AutoCount Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| EPF (Form A) | KWSP | 15th of each month | ✅ Auto-generated |
| SOCSO (Borang 8A) | PERKESO | 15th of each month | ✅ Auto-generated |
| SIP (for EIS submission) | PERKESO | 15th of each month | ✅ Auto-generated |
| PCB (Monthly Tax Deduction) | LHDN | By month-end | ✅ Auto-generated |
| HRDF | HRD Corp Portal | 15th of each month | ✅ Compatible |
- You can upload contributions via bank portals or official sites like KWSP i-Akaun and SOCSO ASSIST
- All these reports can be exported from AutoCount in official formats (TXT/CSV/XML) ready for upload to government portals.
Yearly Payroll Statutory Submissions
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.
Form E + CP8D Report
- Purpose: Employer declaration to LHDN on employee numbers & tax withheld
- Due Date: By March 31 the following year
EA/EC Form Report
- Purpose: Employee’s annual income & deduction statement
- Due Date: By the end of February the following year
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.
CP22 Form
- Purpose: Notify new hire to LHDN
- Deadline: Within 30 days of joining
CP22A Form
- Purpose: Termination Notification
- Deadline: 30 days before leaving the company
CP22B Form
- Purpose: Notify LHDN of employee’s death in public service.
- Deadline: Within 30 days of receiving notification of the employee’s death.
