Progressive income tax system with relatively low rates and tax incentives. Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributions are mandatory for both employers and employees.
On a gross salary of RM80,000 in Malaysia, the deductions are EPF (Employee Provident Fund) RM8,800, Income Tax RM4,610 and SOCSO RM400.

Two different rates matter here, and they are easy to confuse. The effective rate of 17.3% is the average cost of every unit of pay across the whole salary. The marginal rate is what the next slice of pay is charged at — around 32.5% on the next RM1,000 of gross. The marginal rate is the higher of the two, because the lower bands have already been taxed at less. It is the marginal rate, not the effective rate, that decides what a pay rise is actually worth.
