What is SOCSO SKSPS?

SKSPS (Skim Keselamatan Sosial Pekerja Sendiri) is a SOCSO scheme for self-employed workers, including gig workers. Under the Gig Workers Bill 2025, platform companies must deduct SOCSO SKSPS contributions from gig worker earnings once the law is gazetted.

Contribution Rates (Gig Workers)

Contribution	Employee (Gig Worker)	Employer (Platform)
SOCSO SKSPS	1.25% of earnings	1.25% of earnings
EIS (Employment Insurance System)	0.2% of earnings	0.2% of earnings

The platform (Grab, Foodpanda, etc.) pays its own share on top — you only lose the employee portion from your payout.

Do I Need to File Income Tax?

Yes, if your annual earnings exceed RM34,000 (approximately RM2,833/month). Gig income is self-employment income — you file Form B (not Form BE). You can deduct genuine business expenses: fuel, vehicle depreciation (capital allowance), phone bill (proportional), internet.

What Benefits Do I Get from SOCSO SKSPS?

Employment Injury Insurance — compensation if you are injured while working
Invalidity Pension — monthly support if permanently disabled
Dependants' Benefit — support for your family if you pass away from a work injury
EIS (Employment Insurance) — limited unemployment benefit if your platform terminates your account

When Does This Start?

The Gig Workers Bill 2025 passed the Senate but requires royal assent and gazettement before taking effect. Platforms will be given a transition period to implement deductions. Monitor official PERKESO (SOCSO) announcements for the exact implementation date.
