Guidelines for Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on Foreign Capital Assets

The Income Tax (Exemption) (No. 3) Order 2024 was gazetted on 4 March 2024 to provide exemption from CGT on gains arising from disposal of foreign capital assets received into Malaysia. The exemption is subject to conditions to be imposed by the Minister under guidelines to be issued by the Inland Revenue Board (IRB).

The IRB has now issued the Guidelines on Tax Treatment on Gains From the Disposal of Foreign Capital Assets Received from Outside Malaysia dated 27 March 2024 (“Guideline”).

In addition to conditions for the exemption, the Guideline also explains the tax treatment on gains from the disposal of foreign capital assets received in Malaysia by a resident.
