The reason it is called witholding tax is because it will be "witheld" before it reaches our hands. I checked my REIT statement just now, it's a tax voucher as well, the tax is already deducted and it is stated as such. You can give your accountant the tax voucher for record purposes but you do not have to pay additional tax on it.

The Edge


"KUALA LUMPUR (May 15): Shares of Malaysian glove manufacturers surged on Wednesday after the US announced a slew of major tariff hikes on a wide range of Chinese imports including medical and surgical gloves. Tariffs on rubber medical and surgical gloves will jump to 25% from 7.5% in 2026."

Anyone know why in the latest quarter result, the profit after tax is positive but NP attributable to SH is negative?

I suggest you read up properly on stock investing and the types of strategies. For such small amounts it might be better to invest in a robo advisor and forget the headache of actively monitoring your stocks. If interested can read up on value investing, dividend investing, growth investing, contrarian investing and trading (such as momentum trading). When you want to sell depends on why you bought which depends on your strategy. If you bought for dividend then keep and enjoy the dividend, if you bought for capital gain, what was your target (if trading). For stock investment minimum should invest 3k and above per stock each time, or else the fees are too high. You invest 700 and pay RM 10 fee each time is 1.4% when buy and 1.4% (can be more or less) when you sell. Get some proper financial education first then come to stocks.
