2% tax on dividend income 2% 的股息税

Effective from the Year of Assessment (YA) 2025, individual taxpayers (both Malaysian and foreign individuals) are subject to a 2% tax on dividend income that exceeds RM100,000 per year. 

This tax:
  • Applies only to individuals
  • Does not apply to companies or group holding structures
  • Is imposed only on the excess amount, not on the full dividend

2025课税年(Year of Assessment, YA 2025)起,个人纳税人(包括马来西亚公民及外国个人)在一个历年内所取得的股息收入,凡超过 RM100,000 的部分,将需缴纳 2% 的股息税。

该税项特点如下:
  • 仅适用于个人股东
  • 不适用于公司或集团控股架构
  • 仅对超过 RM100,000 的超额部分征税,而非对全部股息征税
