Hi Guys
this may sound stupid , but I wonder do you know whether I am qualified to claim back the taxes on the dividends, as:
-I never worked in Malaysia before
-do not have an existing income tax file
I wanted to register an income tax file through e-daftar, but they require job information, which I obviously do not have

This year finally decided to claim as past years didn't. So dumb
Thanking you in advance if you have some info on this.

U.S. Stock-Index Futures Extend Declines After Economic Reports
Feb. 25 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stock-index futures extended their declines after reports showed unemployment claims increased more than forecast and orders for durable goods excluding transportation equipment trailed estimates.

Standard & Poor’s 500 Index futures expiring in March lost 0.9 percent to 1,093.80 at 8:31 a.m. in New York.

My opinion FWIW:

Whether you can claim back depends on if you are tax resident or not. Anyone who is in Malaysia for more than six months per tax year is considered to be tax resident IIRC....and must pay up.....

My advice is not even to bother about re-claiming the with-held tax - if it's a huge sum, I would just shift to trading in another market where you would be non-resident and with-holding taxes are not an issue......

Everyone's situation is different and you should get expert advice as I am not a tax lawyer.....

DOWN 157 points now...

Lai liao, lai liao...

The Board of Directors of MPHB ("Board") is pleased to announce that the Board

respect of the financial year ending 31 December 2010, to be paid on a date to
be determined later.
The dividend entitlement and book closure dates will be announced in due
course.

Your 5 cents is for FY2009, this 4 cents is FY2010; so total 9 cents

If base on today's price of 0.94, is approximately 9+% return ler....

Woot, just this afternoon talking about potential new crisis in the future.

Now, people focus on whether got Greece CDS issue.

From CNBC,
http://www.cnbc.com/id/35581471

My view, CDS should be highly regulated.

KPJ's financial looks good.. expected. Div 10 sen proposed stated under current year quarter.

Hopefully its true and see the price flies a bit next week.

Really total 0.09 ar ?

Errrmmm....MPHB price today 1.94 lerr.....Its 4.6% div yield (9/194)....

A welcome dose of realism to the MPHB discussion......

Added on February 26, 2010, 1:44 amCDS is lightly regulated as you well know.....The speculators are 'probing' Greece...next will be the rest of the "PIGS" and The UK which is in a precarious fiscal position

.....This is like a replay of the Soros/Mahathir hand-bag battle of 1997...IMHO

The difference this time is that the speculators have the upper hand....
