Sorry to bring it up guys but I have question.

I have a business in a tax-free country and I want to TT some of my income (any limit?) to Malaysia - would I be taxed?

1. I am a foreigner under long term social pass visa.
2. I operate (send e-mails) from Malaysia but my company is based overseas.

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.

So if I earn several thousand ringgit a month from Google Adsense + USA affiliate marketing activities, I don't have to declare to LHDN? 

income that is deemed derived from malaysia is taxable, since your foreign income is not from malaysia then it is not taxable.

Another option I'm looking at is to request that monthly salary be TTed directly to my bank account in Malaysia. In this situation, would I need to pay tax since although the money is from a foreign source, I would actually be "working" in Malaysia.

Hi guys.

I got a silly question hope u guys don't mind - what if i want sell things online but not to Malaysian market (ie, from foreign market) still taxable? Coz i'm thinking of registering a business....most probably the sole proprietor type.

TQ

It is not about where you sell your product to, it is about where you perform the sales or operate from.

Hey guys,

Till today I am still confused about this.

I am living and working from home in Malaysia. My company is in Singapore. My salary is TTed to me on a monthly basis from Singapore but to my Malaysian bank account.

In this case, is my income taxable?

actually its very simple, they tax you base on how and where you earn your money. If you earn your money working in malaysia, doesnt matter who pays you, you are taxable. unless you work in sinagpore, bring the cash back into malaysia, then LHDN would not tax you. Eg you work in SG, but your employer bank into your tiger bank in malaysia, then they will not tax you since its not derived from malaysia. the word derived from malaysia is the key of this whole thing. for your case, its derived and received in malaysia. only income received in malaysia but derived outside malaysia is exempted from income tax.
