1. Yesterday, George Tan enquired, "How will future dividends received from Singapore be taxed?"


2. To be honest, this is an interesting question that cannot be answered succinctly in a few lines. 3. The taxation of dividends has its origins in the classical tax system, which in effect taxed corporate profits twice: 👉 Once at the corporate level, and


👉 once at the shareholder level, following the distribution of the company's after-tax profits to shareholders in the form of dividends. 4. This is referred to as "economic double taxation" in terms of taxation (as opposed to the legal double taxation discussed earlier, see my previous article for more information). 5. Malaysia moved to a single-tier system in 2008, replacing the imputation system. 6. The taxes of resident companies is considered as Final Tax under the single-tier system. As a result, dividends received by shareholders are tax-free and do not need to be declared under the single-tier system. 7. Please be aware that, as proposed in Budget 2022, foreign-sourced income (FSI) received in Malaysia will be subject to taxation beginning January 1, 2022. 8. Dividends received in Malaysia from overseas sources are not exempt from taxes in this circumstance. This is due to the repeal of the tax exemption in paragraph 28 of Schedule 6 of the Income Tax Act of 1967. 9. When I get the time, I will slowly explain everything in detail. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 1. 昨天 George Tan 问:日后从新加坡收到的股息,税务上究竟怎样处理? 2. 这确实是一个好问题,也非三言两语可以清楚地回答 3. 股息的征税起源于古典税收制度,实际上是对公司利润进行了两次征税: 👉 一次是在公司层面; 👉 另一次是在股东层面,即公司税后利润以股息的形式向股东分配之后 4. 在税收上,这就是所谓的“经济性双重征税”(有别于之前所讨论的法律性双重征税,可以看回我之前的文章,以了解更多)。 5. 马来西亚在2008年,把原有的估算系统 [imputation system] 以单层系统 [single-tier system] 取代。 6. 在单层系统 [single-tier system] 制度下,居民公司的税收被视为最终税 [Final Tax]。因此,在单层制度下,股东收到的股息是免税的,并不需要再报税。 7. 然而请注意,正如2022年预算案所提呈的,从2022年1月1日起在马来西亚收到源自国外的收入 [ foreign-sourced income, FSI] 将会被征税。 8. 在这种情况下,在马来西亚收入来自国外的股息,不排除需要征税。因为1967年所得税法令第6附表第28段的免征税条款,将被删除 9. 有机会,我将会慢慢深入讲解 #税法之道博大精深,#建议大家深度学习 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 #InternationalTax #国际税收系列 1.
