What is CP38?
CP38 is an additional tax deduction order issued by LHDN specifically to an employer. Employers will usually receive this directive from LHDN to make additional monthly deductions ('CP38') from the salary of an employee, on top of the usual monthly PCB/MTD amounts.
This CP38 amount is meant to clear the balance of tax liability that exceeds the monthly PCB/MTD amounts already being deducted from the employee.
Employees are able to settle their income tax arrears in installments using the additional CP38 deductions from their salaries in Talenox.
