I’m not an accountant, neither am I familiar with the tax structure in Malaysia, the only thing that is troubling me when it comes to paying tax, should I or shouldn’t I pay tax? Clause 12 says money made outside Malaysia are tax exempted.

Tax Exemptions For Individuals
12. Income Remitted from Outside Malaysia
With effect from the year of assessment 2004, income derived from outside Malaysia and received in Malaysia by resident individual is exempted from tax. (Link)

I have conflicting answers from different accountants, and this is killing me. Do you pay tax from money made online?

    According to local blogger LiewCF.com, he did pay tax but whether he’s asked to do so, I’ve no idea.

    I thought bloggers are free from taxes here (Malaysia).

    @CLF - I thought it is free as well, because according to one of the articles in lembaga hasil negara, any income derive from overseas is tax free. I’ll need to do some research.
