Malaysia note
AutoCount says the system complies with LHDN, KWSP (EPF), SOCSO and EIS requirements and covers income tax (PCB), Zakat, Tabung Haji and ASN deductions and EA forms. Auto Count Sdn Bhd is on LHDN's list of payroll software providers whose computerised PCB (MTD) calculation meets LHDN's specification (effective 24 June 2014), so employers using it need no separate LHDN verification. Its plan table lists payroll posting to cloud accounting, which suits a contractor already keeping its books in AutoCount Cloud Accounting.
