Remote Working for an Overseas Company? Here’s What to Know About Taxes

In today’s digital world, remote work has become increasingly common, whether it’s Malaysians working for overseas companies or digital nomads based in Malaysia. While remote work offers flexibility and new opportunities, it also brings unique challenges — especially when it comes to understanding and managing tax obligations.

As more individuals in Malaysia engage in remote work for foreign-based companies without local offices, issues like legal compliance, tax deductions, and proper documentation have become critical. To help us navigate these complexities, we speak with Poovarni Rajagopal, Tax Partner at Invatex Consulting.

From understanding tax residency and foreign-sourced income to legal compliance and tax planning, this interview aims to provide practical advice on managing your taxes while working remotely.
