Demystifying Malaysian Withholding Tax

Malaysian withholding tax generally applies to certain payments made or credited to non-resident taxpayers when the income is derived from, or deemed to be derived from, Malaysia. The responsibility to deduct and remit withholding tax lies with the Malaysian payer. A thorough understanding of the relevant legislation and payment processes is therefore essential to ensure full compliance.

Join us to gain a comprehensive understanding of the withholding tax regime – its scope, practical application, common compliance challenges, and issues that are often overlooked. We will also cover recent changes in tax legislation that may affect your obligations.
