Does my payroll system need to be LHDN-approved?

LHDN (Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri — the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia) maintains an approved list of payroll software providers whose systems meet the specifications for generating PCB calculations and CP39 submissions in the required format. Using LHDN-approved software is strongly recommended for Malaysian employers, as it ensures that your monthly tax deductions and annual filings are accepted without formatting issues. Check the HASIL website for the current list of approved providers.
