Hi all,
My wife joined a Malaysian firm in March 2018, we had a pre arranged holiday abroad in June of total 12 days outside of Malaysia. Our understanding is that as this is under 14 days holiday of the 182 qualifying period, she still attained Resident status.
However, her HR is saying that the 14 day rule was changed to 7 days after April 2018, so she is stuck o the 28% tax rate. Not only that but future holidays have to be under 7 days outside of Malaysia.
Both these statements seem odd, especially the latter 7 day rule.
Does anyone know any different?
Thanks
