Updated: Feb 20, 2023


According to the Finance Act 2021, the income tax exemption on foreign-sourced income (FSI) received by any person (other than a resident company carrying on the business of banking, insurance, or sea or air transport) will be removed for all Malaysian-resident taxpayers beginning on January 1, 2022.


As a result of this:

  • A flat income tax rate of 3% applies to the gross amount of FSI received in Malaysia between 1 January 2022 and 30 June 2022.

  • Starting from 1 July 2022, the prevailing tax rate of the taxpayer applies to FSI received in Malaysia by Malaysian residents.

These guidelines were issued on 29 September 2022. However, revisions to the Treatment Guidelines Tax Related to Income Received from Abroad were published on the HASiL Official Portal on December 29, 2022, while the guidelines dated September 29, 2022, are null and void. Media Release

The release includes examples of economic substance in item 5 on pages 2 and 3.
