hi

I'm a filipino worker I just want to know how much is my  tax if my salary is 4000 rm? do they deduct it in my monthly salary? I hope somebody can help.

The monthly tax will be around MYR 130 if you are single. And your employer is obligated to deduct from your monthly payroll. But this amount of tax only for resident status for the year. If not, the tax rate will be 26% flat rate.
