It is a system of tax collection, whereby the employers deduct certain amount from the employee's monthly remuneration by referring to the Schedule of Monthly Tax Deduction. It is compulsory for the employers and employees to comply with this matter. However, based on the Annual Report 2012 to 2016 of IRBM, the statistics of MTD audit shows the number of non-compliant employers kept rising over the past five years.
