Q: I am an engineer employed in Malaysia, and I will be seconded overseas for 2 years to conduct feasibility studies in Singapore, which are connected to and part and parcel of my regular duties in Malaysia. Will my employment income for these 2 years during secondment be subject to tax in Malaysia?

A: As the overseas duties are incidental to the exercise of your employment in Malaysia, the employment income is deemed derived from Malaysia. Therefore, the employment income is taxable in Malaysia.  

Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
