Don't think that tax filing is only for Malaysians! Foreigners who stay and work in Malaysia for more than 182 days in a year are taxable under the law and must file and pay taxes to the Inland Revenue Department.
Conversely, under the Income Tax Act 1967, only income derived from working in Malaysia is subject to tax return, while income from working abroad is not subject to tax return. Example: Malaysians working in Singapore who have already filed, and paid taxes locally are no longer required to file and pay taxes with the Inland Revenue Department to avoid double taxation
More details:
If the taxpayer is employed by an overseas company and does not work in Malaysia and only provides overseas services, then the taxpayer's income will be classified as overseas income and will not be required to file and pay taxes in Malaysia.
However, if the taxpayer is working for an overseas company by phone or online in Malaysia, it means that his income is derived from Malaysia and must file and pay taxes.
Malaysian citizens who use the money earned overseas to buy property in Malaysia to collect rents are required to pay tax.
外国人也要报税
不要以为报税只适合马来西亚人！一年内在马来西亚居留和工作超过182天的外国人需要根据法律纳税，并且必须向税务局报税并纳税。
相反，根据1967年所得税法，只有在马来西亚工作的收入才需要报税，而在国外工作的收入则不需要报税。示例：在新加坡工作的马来西亚人如果已经在当地报税并缴税，则不再需要向税务局报税和缴税，以避免双重征税

如果纳税人受雇于海外公司，不在马来西亚工作，只提供海外服务，那么纳税人的收入将被归类为海外收入，无需在马来西亚报税和纳税。
然而，如果纳税人在马来西亚通过电话或网上为海外公司工作，则意味着他的收入来自马来西亚，必须报税和纳税。
马来西亚公民使用在海外赚取的钱在马来西亚购买房产以收取租金，需 要缴税。
