Taxes in Malaysia

An individual is taxed on his chargeable income at graduated rates from 2 % to 30% after the deduction of tax reliefs. An individual with chargeable income less than RM2500 is taxed at zero rate. An Expatriate must earn over
RM 5000 p.m to receive a work permit.

For the first 182 days in Malaysia an Expatriate will be classed as non-resident and will be taxed at 26%. This is refunded at the end of the tax year if an expatriate is subsequently classed as resident.
