Hi,
I am in Malaysia from 1st July as an employee. I have heard that I need to be in country for 182 days to become tax resident and from after that my tax rate will be decreased and this extra deduction will be refunded. I have even be told that I can not leave country for more then 14days within this period. What if I leave for say 10 days. Will this 10 days be added in my 182 days? Mine 182 days will be over in 30th Dec this years.
