KUALA LUMPUR, June 4 (Bernama) — The Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) regards the action of the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) in issuing directive CP38 (deduction of additional tax on instalments) from June 16 as untimely and burdensome.
Its president, Azih Muda said the existing method of schedular deduction of tax (PCB) was enough to financially burden the group of 1.4 million workers.
“The existing deduction imposed on civil servants though PCB is still not over. They are forced to pay early to LHDN and only adjust later. If there is overpayment, the refund is late.
