What if I work from home in Malaysia. But I receive my income on PayPal and in USD. Is it only taxed when I withdraw it into my Malaysian bank account and convert it to MYR? Or is it taxable even before it enters my Maybank account?

If the money is in Paypal/wise, they are considered already in Malaysia.
But now the government will continue to exempt foreign income from income tax, so I guess it's fine to take back your income to Malaysia?

For my foreign source income, can I still do e-filing so that I can get the documentation to apply credit card? I checked the BE form but I'm not sure which field should I input my income?
