KUALA LUMPUR, 27 February 2020: The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) takes note of the Government’s decision on the reduced minimum statutory contribution rate for employees, from 11 per cent to seven (7) per cent as announced today. The new rate will be effective starting 1 April 2020 until the end of the year and affects members below age 60. For those aged 60 and above, the employees’ share of the contribution rate will remain at zero per cent. The move to reduce the statutory contribution rate is part of the Government’s economic stimulus package intended to cushion the blow from the economic fallout following the global COVID-19 outbreak. Employers are required to ensure the correct amount is deducted from their employees’ wage/salaries based on the Third Schedule, Akta KWSP 1991.
