LHDN Borang TP3: Essential Form When Switching Jobs
By LHDN Payroll Architect1 min read • 154 wordsLast Updated: June 2026
When you join a new company in the middle of a calendar year, you will be requested by your new HR department to fill up an LHDN TP3 Form (Borang TP3). Neglecting this form can result in incorrect monthly PCB deductions and potential tax penalties during reconciliation.
Please Note: This calculator provides an estimate only and is not an official LHDN ( Hasil ), KWSP or PERKESO statutory submission tool. Actual PCB, EPF, SOCSO and EIS amounts may vary depending on employee status, residency, tax relief eligibility, rebates (e.g. spouse/children declarations), TP1/TP3 information, prior employment records within the year, and official updates. Please verify calculation figures against official LHDN portal, KWSP booklets, PERKESO schedules, or consult with a certified payroll/tax compliance specialist.
What is Form TP3?
Form TP3 is a mandatory employee declaration of previous employment income and statutory deductions (EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB cumulative) earned in the current calendar year prior to joining the new company. This allows your new employer's payroll system to accurately factor in your cumulative year-to-date income so that your progressive tax brackets are maintained correctly.
What happens if you do not submit TP3?
If you don't submit Borang TP3, your new employer will calculate your monthly PCB as if you had zero prior income for that tax year. This will artificially lower your progressive tax rate, leading to massive under-payments. You will then face a huge, unexpected tax bill when completing your e-Filing next April!
