However, the law places the responsibility of collection and remittance squarely on the Malaysian payer.

Does WHT apply to physical goods?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. WHT does not apply to the &#8220;straight&#8221; purchase of inventory or raw materials. It applies to services, rights (royalties), and interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. What if I pay the non-resident via credit card?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WHT still applies. Even if the payment is automated via a card, the Malaysian business is responsible for calculating, withholding, and remitting the tax to LHDN within one month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Can I remit WHT in foreign currency?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. WHT must be remitted to LHDN in <strong>Malaysian Ringgit (MYR)<\/strong> using the exchange rate provided by LHDN for the date the payment was made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Is software-as-a-service (SaaS) a Royalty or a Service?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2026, most cloud-subscriptions are treated as <strong>Royalties<\/strong> (10%) if they involve the use of copyright, or <strong>Technical Services<\/strong> (10%) if they involve customization. Always check the specific DTA definitions for the supplier&#8217;s country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a Malaysian business engages with international expertise\u2014whether by paying a software developer in India, licensing a brand from the UK, or paying interest on a loan from a Singaporean bank\u2014it triggers a specific tax obligation known as Withholding Tax (WHT).
