Every month, employers must submit Potongan Cukai Bulanan (PCB) deductions to LHDN, ensuring that employee tax contributions are recorded accurately. While this process might seem straightforward, manual data entry increases the risk of errors, leading to rejected submissions and compliance issues.
To simplify this, LHDN provides E-Data PCB, a system that allows employers to upload a properly formatted text file instead of entering data manually. If you’re unfamiliar with this process or want to make sure you’re doing it right, here’s what you need to know.
Why Use E-Data PCB?
E-Data PCB is designed to make monthly tax submissions easier by enabling bulk uploads. Instead of entering employee details one by one, employers can submit a single file containing all PCB deductions for the month. This method helps:
- Reduce errors in tax filings
- Speed up the submission process
- Minimize the risk of penalties due to incorrect data
But before you upload your file, there are a few key things to check.
What You Need Before Submission
Before generating your PCB text file, ensure:
- Employee details (name, IC number, salary) are accurate
- The employer tax reference number (No. E) is correct
- PCB deduction amounts match the payroll calculations
Mistakes in these areas can result in submission failures, requiring additional time for corrections and resubmissions.
How to Submit Your PCB File Using E-Data PCB
- Prepare payroll data and double-check all details.
- Generate the PCB text file according to LHDN’s required format.
- Log in to E-Data PCB via LHDN’s website.
- Upload and submit the text file.
- Verify the submission status and re-upload if necessary.
