there could be a form of deduction under double taxation rule..but the general rule is 3% to be imposed on foreign remittance to Malaysia in the 1st 6 mths and to follow individual tax rate thereafter...

Based on the the FAQ, the wording is foreign income remittance or pendapatan.

A foreign remittance is not necessary foreign income because some companies that have overseas asset or the remittance is coming from capital repatriation due to selling overseas asset.

Those should be considered capital or bersifat modal.
So need to distinguish the type of remittance.
It is not a blanket 3% across all remittance, there are criteria.

Correct me if I am wrong, not a tax expert

Based the Crowe that you provided it seems to be on earned and received . So those received in MY prior to Jan 2022 would follow old Law and those received post would follow the New Law .

For CPF if we compare to our EPF we are also taxable on employer contribution to our EPF and are only provided tax allowance of RM 4K.

So for CPF, the taxation should be on the same basis . I think what some of the people are recommending is to provide similar relief like our KWSP to these CPF.

>> From KWSP website : Requirements. EPF contributions are tax-deductible up to a maximum amount of RM4,000, subject to periodic amendments by the government (excluding of exemption for life insurance premium).

EPF employer portion is not taxable.
Only employee portion is counted towards gross income and has a relief of 4K.

A scenario now,... everybody knows dividends earned from US-based companies are 30% tax-withheld. But what papers can we show to claim this tax credits when we remit back the USD dividends into Msia ?

US and Malaysia don't have double tax treaty agreement, can still claim tax credit?
