Hi ziet, will dividend income still be taxed if I choose to just reinvest the dividends instead?

@ZietInvests

2 жыл бұрын

​@@rhitheshselvakumaran7422 From my understanding, it doesn't really matter what you do with it, when you remit money back to Malaysia, you are "obligated" to declare the dividend income you have gained through the course of that financial year, which can be identified from your brokerage statement. A bit of an oddball, since it is easier said than done when there are funds moving in and out all the time, which is why we would need to wait for more FAQ/clarification from LHDN to clearly pinpoint the actual procedures. That said, I could be wrong also, someone in the comments section down below mentioned that only "excess income" will be taxed, i.e. if you have been taxed 30% by US, then you dont need to pay the tax on the dividends in Malaysia anymore. That seems like a double taxation thing to me, again, I am not sure too, I wish I would know the answer to that!

The uncertainty will only makes people not bringing their money back. As usual all the new announcement only make the country goes backward instead of going forward/florish

I think you need to consider that the change in law is due to Malaysia being placed on the grey list by the EU for harmful tax practices. The taxation of foreign sourced income is not a new concept and is practiced in other countries, e.g. Singapore. However, countries like Singapore have guidelines / rules on the taxation of foreign source income. Its yet to be seen if Malaysia may adopt similar rules / guidelines.

I did read about that, but it's my job to report what's changing and what needs to be taken note of. Yes it could be due to that, but the one facing the short term consequences are the people who are receiving income from the foreign sources yet they don't have clear cut procedure on how to handle it, making it something daunting and concerning. The tax itself is not an issue, we all have been paying tax all along, it's just the way of handling it.

If you are talking about a huge amount of pension savings, I highly highly recommend you to hire a financial advisor and get their advice on how to circumvent this (they don't cost that much actually). They might have better suggestions for this!

Scenario: if someone have rm100k invested in KO(coca cola) with an average 3% dividend yield per yr. he is getting rm3k, so how much tax should be pay? what is the tax rate we are talking about on the foreign tax income?

@ZietInvests

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Derrick, by default there will be a 30% dividend withholding tax on the dividends paid by US domiciled company. So effectively you only receive 70% of that RM 3,000 which is RM 2,100. Another RM 900 would be withheld by your broker. When you bring that RM 2,100 back into Malaysia, according to Budget 2022, you will need to declare it in your income tax filing as an income, which would contribute to the total tax payable in your income tax filing. The rate depends on your personal tax rate (i.e. up to 30% for individuals), but according to the finance tabling, there will be 6 months transitory period up until 30 Jun 2022, so income remitted during that phase should be taxed at 3% - how to fill, what form to fill, where to fill, the authority have not released anything about it yet (as far as I am aware of). This is assuming there is no double taxation avoidance in place, but do check with a qualified tax accountant on this yeah.

Btw, from what I understand there is more than a way to justify tax resident status. If you meet one of the criteria, then you are considered as tax resident in Malaysia. 1. >182 days or more of the tax year; 2.

Hi there, That does seem like the case - if no transfer any "income" back to Msia then no need to pay tax. Though taxable business income should be tax accordingly if business is conducted in Malaysia. You mean July 2022? The tax rate should be the same as the individual/corporate tax rate on LHDN's website (individual up to 30%). And yes there are a few ways to identify yourself as a qualified tax resident in Malaysia, I've discussed about it with someone else in the comments section haha. Note that I could be wrong as I am not a professional tax advisor, best for you to check with a qualified personnel like 3E accounting malaysia or L&Co. !

Because Malaysia is a still an export based country, so international trades are crucial for the economy (its one of the pillar of why Malaysia is standing today). No country (especially developing countries) can be self-sustainable without international trades

does this mean that if my only income comes from paypal in USD, i would have to pay income tax for this even if i don't make more than rm34,000 annually? sorry i'm clueless when it comes to taxes because i just started my freelance work full-time

@ZietInvests

2 жыл бұрын

Hi, declaring and paying tax is 2 different thing ya. By law you are required to declare your income during tax filing (and that the RM 34,000 is referring to EMPLOYMENT INCOME after epf deduction, should be exclusive of Other Income). So if my understanding is correct, you still need to declare that "paypal" freelance income on Other Income starting from 1 Jan 2022 onwards (means file in 2023). You can refer to this video for the basics of income tax: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fGVk1KaTg5TKaMo.html I also highly recommend you to give LHDN a call to get your doubts cleared, people do that a lot so no worries about that! Better be safe than sorry😊

@ZietInvests

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Tim, you cant select where to open your IBKR account. When you click into any IBKR website and register for an account, you will be directly placed under IBKR LLC (IBKR US) as a Malaysian. You can invest in any markets you want - SG, US, UK, HK etc., the payable taxes depends on the country's tax. (like 30% dividend withholding tax for dividends paid by US domiciled companies, and 0% capital gains tax for malaysians) When you remit it back to malaysia, that is when your income (could) be audited to segregate your capital gains and income, theoretically, so your payable tax in malaysia depends on your tax code, nothing to do with IBKR at all. For the CIMB SG thing, i believe if you remain the money in CIMB SG, you wont be taxed in malaysia (yet) as far as I read, but will need to read further to really understand it

I did think of that before, their assets are usually held by custodian like Saxo Banks overseas, but I don't have the necessary information to understand how their fund flows to the customers (highly unlikely to just withdraw and remit into Malaysia for any small amounts because that wouldn't be efficient). Would they have a RM account catering these withdrawals in Malaysia? 👀
