Yes, he summed up all dividends and regrossed.
BUT my worry is from articles I read online, dividends from REIT are already subjected to 10% withholding tax and this tax is final. Meaning, I should not declare these dividends and hence could not claim tax refund on these dividends.

Can someone advise what is the real tax law on this?? @.@
Thanks
Further to above, I have called up another licensed tax agent and also talked to my licensed tax agent. BOTH agents said I should declare my dividends from REITS (All Malaysia REITS) and hence claim for tax refund. Under their calculation, after regrossing, I am actually claiming more than the 10% tax deducted at source. Amount deducted at source were RM598.08 but after regrossing, i would be claiming for RM1794.26.BUT my worry is from articles I read online, dividends from REIT are already subjected to 10% withholding tax and this tax is final.

Reading the Annual Reports from these REITS, all the reits income were exempted from income tax. The REIT only withhold 10% tax when they paid the unit holders. As such, the government had actually collected TOTAL tax of RM598.08 from me from the entire process but if I were to claim for RM1794.26, who is paying for difference???? This doesnt make sense at all.
At this juncture, I have decided NOT to declare these dividends from REITS despite what the tax agents had suggested.
If I am wrong, please kindly enlighten. Many thanks
