What plantation employers need to know

Lower Levy, Different Ratio Rules

Plantation and agriculture carry a reduced RM640/year levy compared to manufacturing/construction/services (RM1,850/year) — but headcount ratios and eligible source countries still apply separately.

Estate Housing (Act 446)

On-estate worker housing is still subject to Act 446 minimum standards, even in remote plantation locations — certification cannot be skipped due to distance from urban centres.

Is remote estate housing exempt from Act 446?
