my company wants me to be relocated in KL

Hi sarkar_m,

Welcome to Expat.com!

I have created a new topic with your post on the Kuala Lumpur forum.

All the best,
Christine

1. For a GM, depending on industry, you should be looking at a minimum of RM12K - RM15K. On top of that, MNC companies also pay for relocation cost, living allowance, transport allowance and etc.

2. If your MNC company has provided you with accommodation, I believe RM500-RM600 per month would be sufficient to cover your electricity, water and internet bills. For meal, given that 70% is home cook, I think you could settle with RM2,500-RM3,000 per month. For your child, it really depends on your decision whether to send him/her to a government school or an international school. Aside from that, I think you can live quite comfortably in Malaysia.

3. As for taxation, you can find out more info on hasil.gov.my

12K-15K for MNC GM!? You gotta be kidding. If less than 25K forget about it.

This guide may help and substantiate your claim if negotiations are needed:

25k bare min. Expat teachers get 15-25k Rm per month in KL. A GM should get 25-40k

There should be two clear elements to your potential package:

1. monthly salary
2. relocation package*

*lump sum relocation allowance (start and end of assignment), healthcare, car/driver/petrol/transportation, home leave tickets, preschool/education allowance, household goods transportation, enhanced holiday allowance (study days), free access to accountant/lawyer for tax returns and any other issues).

Salaries earned in Malaysia are subject to Malaysian Tax.  Once you leave India your income tax liability follows you. http://www.hasil.gov.my/index.php?lgv=2

Be aware that if you arrive after 1 July the tax rate is on the basis you are non-resident = 26% flat rate - no allowances or refunds. Tax years follow calendar years (Jan-Dec).
