The Malaysia Income Tax Act 1967 places obligations on taxpayers to withhold tax when making certain payments to non-residents. Failure to do so in a timely manner could attract late payment penalties. As transactions are becoming more cross border in nature, understanding the practical issues related to withholding tax will be essential to avoid penalties being imposed for non-compliance.
