Hi all,

Because of living expenses (as my family is treated as foreigner, although I am a PR), I am planning to get my children admitted in school in JB and move my family there. I will be frequently visiting them weekly, on visit visa of Malaysia.

I have a question regarding taxation in Malaysia. Would I be considered tax resident and need to pay income tax in Malaysia if I spend 2 days (weekend) weekly in Malaysia and in a year, total number of days may be more than 100 that I would spend in JB/Malaysia.

Thanks,

Salman
