FAQ on Payroll & Expatriate Mobility
What is our legal obligation when an expatriate employee resigns or completes their tenure in Malaysia?
Under Section 83(7) of the Income Tax Act 1967, an employer must notify LHDN via Form CP21 at least 30 days prior to the expatriate’s expected departure date. The employer is legally required to withhold all monies (including final salary and gratuities) payable to the employee until a Tax Clearance Letter (TCL) is issued. Failing to do so makes the employer directly liable for any outstanding personal income tax. Rogerson manages the entire clearance process to ensure swift tax settlement without corporate liability.
Do allowances and housing perks count toward meeting the minimum ESD salary threshold for an Employment Pass?
NO. The Expatriate Services Division (ESD) evaluates pass eligibility strictly based on the basic monthly salary declared in the employment contract. Fixed allowances, housing perks, commissions, and non-cash Benefits-in-Kind (BIK) are excluded from the threshold calculation. However, allowances must still be included when calculating monthly tax withholdings (MTD/PCB). We structure your expatriate compensation packages to meet both immigration thresholds and LHDN compliance.
Can we apply for expatriate Employment Passes immediately after incorporating our Sdn Bhd?
Before submitting individual Employment Pass applications, your newly incorporated company must first register and secure ESD Corporate Portal Approval. This requires fulfilling specific paid-up capital requirements (ranging from RM500,000 to RM1,000,000 depending on ownership structure and WRT licensing). Because Rogerson manages both your corporate secretarial setup and HR operations, we align your paid-up capital and SSM filings upfront to ensure rapid ESD account activation.
