Seaching for Extinct Hardware

As mentioned in my previous post, I have to submit PCB (Potongan Cukai Berjadual or Monthly Tax Deductions) to LHDN (Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri) for employees. I have to key in information of employees into provided software and output into a diskette (We have stopped using diskette eons ago!!) and bring to the bank for payment.

Last month, I submitted the cheque and completed form by post to LHDN in KL as advised by the staff that we had to do manual submission for the first time. Early this month, I began to hunting for below 'dinosaur' at shops selling computer hardware.

The owner of the shop thought I was a teacher as she mentioned only schools were still using diskette drive

I did not managed to buy diskettes from the computer shop as the owner mentioned that their supplier does not supply them anymore. Luckily I managed to get a good friend of mine to get me two diskettes. Thanks, you know who you are :)

My only 2 diskettes for PCB submission purpose

Understanding Monthly Tax Deductions

I went to LHDN (Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri) in the city a few days ago to apply for employer income tax number for the company as well as employees' income tax number. The officer taught me how to download a software that would reflect income tax deductions from employees' salary that we would need to bring to the bank when paying for Monthly Tax Deductions.

I began to understand how salary my salary was deducted before. Employers will refer to Schedule of Monthly Tax Deductions to determine amount of tax to be deducted from employee's salary. That is why it is important to let employer know any changes of marital status, whether one's spouse was working and how many children in the family. These information will ensure accuracy of deduction so that one does not need to claim overpaid PCB (Potongan Cukai Berjadual or Monthly Tax Deductions in English) the following year when we need to submit Borang B or BE.

Schedule of Monthly Tax Deductions provided

I noticed newer generations of government servants were very polite, efficient, helpful and understanding. We do have people around us (especially older generations and those influenced by them) who will not hesitate to criticize government servants but I am sure these services from government servants will continue to improve.
