Hi all,
I am in Malaysia for almost 1.4 years.I am working as an engineer
I need to fill income tax for the year 2016.
I had received M-form from hasil (income tax dept of Malaysia) it states flat income tax rate of 28%. I went to LHDN centre at Plaza Rakyat/Pudu to enquire about the which form do i need to submit. The person who gives the token straightway said use BE FORM for returns then I said him that I received M-form from HASIL he straight way said this is your first year so you need to fill M-form.
but most of website it states that M-form is for non resident.I have to stay in Malaysia for more than 182 days to become a resident.I have fulfilled the criteria of staying 182 days continuously in Malaysia but still they are considering me as non resident.
Who is the concern person to ask regarding this?
and also please let me know whether I can go and ask any other LHDN centers in Malaysia
