Expat living in another country while doing the Malaysian job remotely

Post new topic

Hi there,


I got a job in Malaysia this year; it was pretty chilled and I don't have to go to the office so I have taken another offer to move to another country for work while doing the Malaysian job remotely.


What may happen when it comes to tax (I haven't stayed in Malaysia more than 182 days and left the country more than 3 months).

You need an accountant but you will be taxed as a non-resident will be a flat rate

of 30 % as I understand it
