Annual Contribution Return for Private Household (Domestic service) Employers

Following amendments brought under the Business Facilitation Act 2017, the MRA has been entrusted with the function of collection of contributions/payments to the National Pension Fund (NPF), National savings Fund (NSF), HRDC Training Levy and Recycling Fee. As from 01 September 2020, the Contribution Sociale Généralisée (CSG) replaces the National Pensions Fund (NPF).

As from September 2021 under The Social Contribution and Social Benefits Act 2021, social contributions shall apply on end of year bonus prescribed under an enactment. The social contributions payable on end of year bonus shall be computed separately from the contributions payable on the monthly basic wage/salary. The social contribution on end of year bonus shall be calculated on the basic wage/salary component only (excluding any allowance, commission, productivity payment etc).

Household employers have the option to submit return either on a monthly basis or an annual basis.

Where the household employer opts to submit an annual return, he has up to 31 July to submit the annual return and effect payment.

With a view to facilitate employers, the MRA has put in place a system for e-Filing of annual Contribution return (Social Contribution (CSG) / NSF) so that as from July 2022, where an employer has furnished any monthly return in an income year ( period July to June) , he may submit an annual return for the remaining months in that income year.

Household employers are required to use ONLY the Direct Debit facility put in place by the MRA to pay their contributions directly from their bank account. To avail of this facility, household employers should fill-in a PLACH Direct Debit Mandate form downloadable from the MRA website and return the completed form, duly signed by the authorised signatories, so that it reaches the MRA at least 15 days before the due date for payment.

Household employers should include the details of ALL their employees in the return.

As from the financial year ended 30 June 2021
