Yes u need to ..regardless where u work from ...as long as u r tax resident of malaysia by definition ..183 days ..different scenario from those worked full time e.g. in sg

Lhdn for now work on trust ...

Meaning end of the year, u declare, u pay

So if u dun have to pay pcb e.g. freelance, nontaxable etc, then lhdn wont have your record.

In ur case, even if u withdraw or dont withdraw into ur my bnk acccnt, they wont know until you file ur income tax. Thats y irregardless where you work, how u receive your money is irrelevant if u dun declare

Your paypal they wont know, transfer to ur acc also they wont know, if figure is small its okk...if figure is huge, just declare ...it will trigger AMLA and lhdn will be informed too...

However when they found out, you will be slap with fine + tax arrear for under reporting/misreporting/tax evasioon
