Hi i have a quick question. Say if i have a source of foreign income do i have to pay tax in Malaysia? DO you guys declare your income from foreign stocks?

Foreign income that paid by a foreign company in foreign country if bring back to Malaysia, is tax free.

I've been told by income tax personnel that it doesn't matter where the money is from, as long as you are resident in Malaysia at the time the income is accrued, it is taxable. Unless you are physically overseas and working in overseas with a foreign company giving the employment.
But most people I know also never declare this income.

Not true, the rule already changed since 2004. To encourage ppl to bring in the foreign income back to Malaysia, u can check with your tax agent, or call up LHDN hotline to claify this.

You dont have to pay any tax on foreign income generated in overseas paid by a foreign company even u r a tax residents that stay more than 182 days in Malaysia.

Pls also check the following link:-

Me currently employ under Japanese MNC (in Singapore) but work in Johor Bahru. So means no need to pay income tax right? I asked LHDN on 2005 and their said no need to pay. However last week I asked again but now never said need to pay, only asked me to register with LHDN.
They wanna curik my money is it?  vmad.gif
I tried searching LHDN website but cannot find the info  hmm.gif edit:

I tried to search on LHDN website but also cannot get, luckily u found the following info in LHDN website:-

Income Remitted from Outside Malaysia
With effect from the year of assessment 2004, income derived from outside Malaysia and received in Malaysia by resident individual is exempted from tax.


I had the same info when called up LHDN hotline and also from my tax agent.
Bravo. Saiga.....

Half correct only. You don't need to pay tax only if the foreign income is 100% generated without any of your involvement while you are in Malaysia. Eg: You are a shareholder of the oversea company. Not involve in any operation of the company while you are in Malaysia. Or you involve and perform the action to generate the profit while you are in oversea.

If you involve in making the foreign profit in Malaysia, you have to pay tax. Eg: Director, owner making decision in Malaysia

no need, but must keep records up to 7 years, in case LHDN want to check.
