Malaysia takes income tax from each month's pay as PCB (monthly tax deduction), and the yearly assessment settles the difference when you file. The year of assessment 2026 is income from 1 January to 31 December 2026. The LHDN rate page lists 2023 to 2025 and the 2026 PCB specification uses the same bands. SKBBK, a new SOCSO share from 1 June 2026, is included by default. Every value, its source and the date it was checked is on Sources and rates.
