Tax system in Malaysia

Malaysia's income tax is progressive with rates from 0% to 30% for residents, while non-residents are taxed at a flat 30% on Malaysian-source income. Employee contributions to EPF (Employees Provident Fund) are 11% of salary, providing retirement savings. Malaysia has historically not taxed foreign-sourced income for residents, though this has been subject to policy changes. The MM2H and DE Rantau digital nomad visa have made the country a popular destination for expatriates.
