How the 182-day rule works in Malaysia
Malaysia uses a 182-day threshold per calendar year.
Calendar year (January to December). This means your day count resets every January 1. Days from the previous year do not carry over.
If you exceed 182 days, Malaysia may tax your worldwide income as a tax resident. The exact consequences depend on your personal situation, any applicable tax treaties, and the type of income involved.
