CP38 Deductions: How to Set Up an LHDN Instalment Instruction in BrioHR
Use the built-in CP38 deduction item, set it up as a recurring or one-time deduction, and how CP38 flows into the PCB TXT file.
The CP38 deduction item already exists
When an employee receives a CP38 instruction from LHDN, use the existing CP38 deduction item in BrioHR — you do not need to create a custom item.
Method 1 — recurring monthly deduction (typical CP38 instalments)
- Go to Employee Profile > Compensation > Deductions > + Add Deduction.
- Enter the Effective Date (and End Date if the instruction has one), select CP38 as the Deduction Type, enter the Amount, and Save.
Method 2 — one-time deduction during a payroll run
- Go to HR Lounge > Payroll > Run Payroll and open the employee's payroll details.
- Click + Add under Deductions, select CP38, enter the amount, and save.
CP38 and the PCB payment file
CP38 deductions included in the payroll are automatically reflected in the LHDN PCB TXT file. Remember, statutory files are only available after the payroll month is completed.
