Initiative 6.5 |
Currently, industry experts from overseas that come to Malaysia to train their colleagues in the Malaysia subsidiary are being imposed withholding tax although their payroll is under the overseas entity. This is hindering them from coming to Malaysia and thus affect the training / upskilling of local talents, especially in niche / high tech areas where local experts are not available. |
