We will explore the various categories of payments subject to withholding, such as royalties, interest, technical service fees, and contract payments, alongside common cross-border scenarios that necessitate withholding. Furthermore, we will examine standard withholding tax rates under Malaysian law and how Double Tax Agreements (DTAs) can influence these rates, potentially offering exemptions.

• Overview on compliance requirements,
• Review the potential penalties for non-compliance, and key risk areas.
• Analyse relevant case studies and examples, culminating in a Q&A session to address specific queries.
