Hi guys,

Need some advise.

"Apa itu Skop Pengenaan Cukai

Pembayar cukai yang bermastautin di Malaysia dikenakan cukai atas semua pendapatan yang diperoleh di Malaysia dan pendapatan yang diterima dari luar Malaysia. Skop penggenaan cukai seseorang individu adalah bergantung kepada taraf permastautinannya.

Mulai tahun taksiran 2004, pendapatan yang diterima di Malaysia dari luar Malaysia adalah dikecualikan daripada cukai. Dengan itu, pembayar cukai sama ada yang bermastautin atau yang tidak bermastautin di Malaysia dikenakan cukai atas pendapatan yang diperoleh dari Malaysia sahaja. "

According the the above statement.
If I am working for oversea company and doesn't have local company. Paid to oversea and to be remittance back to Malaysia.
My question,
Am I supposed to be taxed by hasil?

Thanks.

Malaysian tax is territorial scope.  The fact your company is not in Malaysia and doesn't have a branch in Malaysia is one factor.  You need to consider the following:-

- 1)When you are employed, are you working in Malaysia (i.e. representative of your company in Malaysia)

If your answer is "yes" then your income is taxable in Malaysia notwithstanding your income was not paid by a Malaysian company (this is because you have exercised employment in Malaysia).
- How long were you in this employ?

There are specific rules that grant tax exemptions depending on how long you were in their employ.  (if more than 182 days, forget about this point).
- What country is your company based in?

This can also lead to tax exemptions depending on the country  (if more than 182 days employment, forget about this point).

1) Yes, I m supposed to represent them in malaysia projects.More than 182 days. sweat.gif so much headache this income tax. No admin/finance to assist me. All by myself rclxub.gif shakehead.gif
