Double Tax Relief

A tax resident is entitled to claim foreign tax credits against Malaysian tax.

Where a double tax treaty exists, the credit available is the whole of the foreign tax paid or the Malaysian tax levied, whichever is lower.

In the absence of a double tax treaty, the credit available is restricted to half of the foreign tax paid.

Double Tax Treaty (DTA)

The objective of a Double Tax Agreement (DTA) is the avoidance or minimisation of double taxation.

This is achieved mainly by the granting of double tax relief by the country of residence.

Foreign tax paid may be credited against Malaysian tax on the same profits, but the credit is limited to the amount of Malaysian tax payable on the foreign income.

How to claim double tax relief

A claim for tax treaty relief can be made in a taxpayer' s income tax return form or a written request can be made for treaty relief within two years from the end of the relevant year.
