Global Payroll for Malaysia enables you to manage your payees' Zakat contributions. The system can either deduct a fixed monthly amount for a payee or consider all the tax deductions as Zakat contributions. In both instances, Zakat is deducted from net pay and is applied as a rebate in the tax process.

When you use the fixed amount option, the maximum amount of Zakat tax rebate is equal to the total tax amount. If the Zakat tax rebate exceeds the total tax amount, the remaining rebate applies to subsequent months (but not subsequent years). Zakat functionality does not apply to bonus payments, except when applying excess rebates.

To enter a fixed amount of Zakat:

  1. Access the Supporting Element Overrides page (Set Up HCM > Product Related > Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt > Elements > Absence Elements > Absence Entitlements > Supporting Element Overrides).

  2. Enter the TAX VR ZAKAT element on the Elements/Dates tab.

  3. Enter the begin and end dates to define the period in which the amount should be recovered.

  4. On the Values tab, enter the monthly amount to be recovered.

To trigger a Zakat rebate equal to total tax amounts:

  1. Access the Supporting Element Overrides page (Set Up HCM > Product Related > Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt > Elements > Absence Elements > Absence Entitlements > Supporting Element Overrides).

  2. Enter the TAX VR ZAKAT SCH element on the Elements/Data tab.

  3. Enter the begin and end dates to define the period in which the override applies.

  4. Enter a character value of Y on the Values tab.

To determine the number of dependents for tax purposes, the system extracts the following information from the Personal Profile page in the HR application:

  • Relationship to payee.

  • Dependent or beneficiary type.

  • Birth date.

  • Marital status.

  • Full-time student status.

  • Disability.

  • Student - Within/Outside Malaysia.
