Is your 182 days in Tax Year 2018? If so you can get a refund of the difference between the Non-resident tax rate of 28% and the Resident tax rate.

To check your annual tax liability for 2018 (annual salary minus RM9k tax-free allowance) you can see what you are expected to pay here https://www.pwc.com/my/en/publications/ … oklet.html
