Q:
If a Malaysian employee goes for an overseas business trip for 2 weeks and causes him to be in Malaysia for less than 182 consecutive days, will this affect him to be a non-tax resident?
A:
If the business trip is connected with the employee’s service in Malaysia such as attending conferences or seminars, the business trip will be considered as a temporary absence and does not count as leaving Malaysia.
Q:
If a company is giving condolence money to customer and the company’s name will be posted in newspaper, is the condolence money tax deductible?
A:
No, it is not tax deductible because it is not an advertisement, as it is not promoting your product or services.
