Sorry I hope it's ok for me to tumpang along this question tered.
I've living overseas for a while now, and paying tax in the foreign country instead of Malaysia.
However I have some investment in the form of unit trusts in Malaysia.
I'm wondering that when I sell off those UT, will I need to declare them for taxation in Malaysia, or is that covered under withholding tax already
Furthermore, in the country I'm in now I found that there is a 30% tax on gains from shares and UT etc.
And in the tax form they do ask whether I possess any investment overseas etc.
Thanks in advance!
For Malaysia investment side (since the onset of single tier dividend), any income or dividend/distribution that need to have witholding tax, the payor will witheld those amount before distribute to you, so what you get is net off already.
Same with bank interest, if there is need to have witholding tax on the interest, bank will witheld those amount in the first place, before giving to you.
For capital gain on Malaysia investment, Malaysia doesn't practice capital gain tax whether it is resident or non-resident, except RPGT.
So, you need to look at your country tax regulation, whether they have tax on capital gain on foreign investment or not, or any exemption on double tax treaty etc.
If you are A country tax resident, then you follow A tax regulation.
