How the HRD Corp levy works

Under the PSMB Act, employers with 10 or more Malaysian employees must register with HRD Corp (formerly HRDF) and pay a monthly levy of 1% of each Malaysian employee's wages. Employers with 5 to 9 Malaysian employees may register voluntarily at 0.5%. The levy accumulates in your own HRD Corp account and is the pool you draw down to fund claimable training, including AI and digital-skills programmes, under the HRD Corp Claimable Courses (SBL-Khas) scheme. Because the levy is already paid, reclaiming it for AI training is effectively spending money you have already committed. Figures here are directional estimates as of 2026 and are not tax advice. Confirm your levy balance, registration status, and claimable rates in HRD Corp e-TRiS.
