for those who've invested in SGX stocks, what if you transfer out to a local broker like Moomoo Malaysia https://www.moomoo.com/sg/support/topic5_590. giving an example of Moomoo SG as per below, no idea how much your sg broker will charge

anyway i did ask moomoo sg before, no discount if transfer out to moomoo MY

Please forgive my ignorance. Let's say I buy 1 lot of DBS via Moomoo SG and I have DBS Vickers account. If I want to transfer my DBS shares to my CDP account, I need to pay 110 SGD (100 to Moomoo SG and 10 to CDP), and the dividend that I will be receiving in the future will continue to credit to my Moomoo SG account, right?

Not sure if this document help - from lhdn
5.1.4 Foreign income received in Malaysia that has been taxed by other jurisdictions either through withholding tax or income tax, are eligible for bilateral or unilateral tax credit under the provisions of sections 132 and 133 of the ITA 1967.
5.2.2.1 All foreign income other than partnership income received
in Malaysia by a resident individual from 1 January 2022 until 31 December 2026 is exempt from tax provided the income has been subjected to tax in the country of origin.

This policy then got extended to 31st December 2036 during budget 2025.

So, gentlemen,... since, by their single-tier taxation system, IRAS does not tax further on stock and REIT dividends, do these dividends fall under the bolded part of section 5.2.2.1 above ?

If the answer is a YES - then we can remit back as much as we wanted to and show the source of these funds, being dividends.

BUT,.... if the answer is a NO - then do not remit back anymore and then no need to declare any remittances.

Bro prophetjul,... I think you have a good knowledge abt this. Can you kindly educate us ?

reit dividend is taxable...

I found this in the LHDN document.
Example 11
Foreign income received in Malaysia is not taxable due to the taxation’s system in the country of origin.


Amansyah, a Malaysian resident, worked as a petroleum welder with a company based in Brunei starting from 2020. He receives employment income from Brunei. Based on Brunei's taxation system, employment income received is not subjected to tax. In 2022, Amansyah plans to bring back his income to Malaysia. Income received from employment in Brunei is not subject to tax in Brunei. Therefore, the employment income brought into Malaysia by Amansyah is exempted from tax in Malaysia as the conditions under P.U. (A) 234/2022 and this Guideline has been fulfilled.

Since dividend is considered income based on the definition in our income tax agreement, I supposed if REIT dividend is tax exampted in the country that you (as a foreigner) invested, it should continue to be tax exampted when you remit it back to Malaysia?
