Let see if Santa is cuming to town at the end of this year.

Yesterday, Bursa Malaysia’s FBM KLCI closed at 1,645.99 points, a 0.28% increased. Market Outlook: Bursa Malaysia is expected to rise, with the FBM KLCI index potentially surpassing 1,780 points by the end of the year.

The Malaysian ringgit is expected to strengthen against the US dollar, potentially reaching RM4.10 to RM4.20 by the end of 2024.

I am a foreign investor and have a portfolio of Malaysian counters most that I have accumulated over the last 30 years. I am retired, and I live quite comfortably on my Dividend Income. My Dividends on my Malaysian Stocks exceed RM100K per year so this new 2% tax catches me. I issue I have is not paying 2% on dividends I receive over RM 100k, it's how that's processed. As of now I don't have taxable Malaysia income as my dividend income was taxed already. With this proposed new tax Now I will have taxable income in Malaysia requiring me to file a Malaysian tax return. This is not a simple matter. As a foreigner I will be required to engage a registered Malaysian Tax Agent (Cost RM10,000 to register with one) and they will file my returns each year charging me 250 for each source of income (say 20 counters x 250= RM 5.000 per tax return).
The cure is relatively simple, I will sell most of my Malaysian shares to ensure my total dividends in Malaysia remain less than RM100,000. I will take the proceeds sell Ringgit and buy Singapore Dollars to invest the equivalent funds in Singapore. The Singapore dividends will not be taxed in Singapore or Malaysia. I will sell Maybank and buy UOB. Bad for Malaysia as my funds are withdrawn from Malaysia, and good for Singapore as I invest there instead. Dividend yield Maybank Vs UOB is quite similar. This I avoid the hassle, and the costs associated with having to deal with tax returns in Malaysia.

@Income, Read this article, the dividend tax does not apply to profit distributions made to contributors and depositors of EPF, the Armed Forces Fund Board (LTAT), Amanah Saham Nasional Bumiputera, or any unit trusts. Only rich individuals would be affected. 2% is a negligible amount.

Three Mistakes to Avoid When Investing in Malaysian Stocks - KingKKK

Reaching 1700 by the end of the year is possible, provided there are no further negative developments. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has been accounted for, unless a third World War breaks out. The next two weeks will be highly volatile due to the US Presidential Election. Harris is more predictable, whereas Donald Trump is less so.

Looking ahead, the market could rise to 1900 by 2028. This is not due to Madani, but because we are part of ASEAN, which includes economic powerhouses like China and India. These two giants are highly competitive. For instance, China can build anything at a low cost. As their domestic market becomes saturated, they are expanding beyond their borders. ASEAN stands to be the biggest beneficiary of this shift..

Here are some common arguments against the new 2% dividend tax on income exceeding RM100,000 in Malaysia:

Impact on Investment Behavior: Critics argue that the tax could discourage investment in Malaysian companies. Investors might seek alternative investment opportunities in countries with more favorable tax regimes, potentially reducing capital inflows into the Malaysian market.

Administrative Burden: Implementing and complying with the new tax could create additional administrative burdens for both taxpayers and the tax authorities. This might lead to increased costs and complexities in tax filing.

Potential for Future Increases: There is concern that while the tax rate is currently low, it could be increased in the future. This uncertainty might affect long-term investment planning and confidence.

Economic Impact on High Earners: The tax primarily targets high-income earners, which could be seen as penalizing success and hard work. This might lead to dissatisfaction among those who feel they are being unfairly targeted.

These arguments reflect a range of concerns from different stakeholders, highlighting the complexity of implementing new tax policies.

Suggestion Moving Forward : The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is often praised for its consumption-based approach, which has several advantages:

Fairness: GST is considered fair because it taxes individuals based on their consumption rather than their income. This means that those who spend more pay more in taxes, aligning tax contributions with spending habits.

Broad Tax Base: By taxing a wide range of goods and services, GST can generate significant revenue for the government. This broad base helps to stabilize tax revenue and reduce reliance on other forms of taxation.

Transparency and Simplicity: GST simplifies the tax system by replacing multiple indirect taxes with a single tax. This reduces the complexity of tax compliance for businesses and consumers alike.

Encourages Savings: Since GST is a consumption tax, it can encourage individuals to save more and spend less, potentially leading to higher investment rates in the economy.

https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2024/10/22/dont-tax-the-rich-excessively-says-rafidah

Finally some wise words from our Iron Lady..

Rafidah said Putrajaya should not introduce new taxes to the rich.

“Income taxes itself are already enough. Don’t add on additional taxes that discourage them from doing business.

“They will be demotivated from expanding because the bigger his business is, the more we are taking from them,” Rafidah added.

According to Rafidah, additional revenue for the government can be generated via good governance and anti-corruption measures.

“The corruption culture is rampant because we don’t have a system that gives us periodic feedback on expenditure,” said Rafidah.

The former minister said every government agency and department should spend its respective allocations in the best way possible.

“Let’s not waste the people’s money,” she added..

Generally, rakyat doesnt want GST but expect subsidies to be sustained. Where is the money coming from??? So, 2% is fair. Dont worry about the rich/business. They will continue to make more money, so 2% is nothing!!! The best optionis PLEASE BRING BACK the GST that SHOULDNT HAVE been put to 0% after PH won the election. The GST manifesto was the biggest mistake they made, so dont make any more mistake!!!

We tax payers are paying our taxes every years and the double taxation is not fair. Those who paid less tax and those big corporation which owns a large chunk of dividend are exempt from the 2% ? GST should be implemented to avoid unfair practice

Wee Ka Siong Seeks Clarification on 2% Dividend Tax Applicability
Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong, the Ayer Hitam Member of Parliament, has requested the government to provide clear guidelines on the applicability of the 2% tax on dividends across different asset classes, including its impact on foreign investors.

Describing the proposed tax as a "negative development", Wee highlighted that since 2008, Malaysia has utilized a single-tier tax system. Under this system, "companies are not required to withhold tax on dividends paid to shareholders." Wee emphasized, "Taxes are only required at the company level, which is corporate tax." He raised these concerns while debating the Supply Bill 2025 in Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday.

Bloomberg data as at Oct 3 showed 12 analysts having a “buy” call on the stock, seven with a “hold” and one, a “sell”. The average 12-month target price stood at RM11.42, suggesting more upside from Maybank’s closing price of RM10.54 that day.

Nomura Research has a “buy” call on Maybank, with a target price of RM12.50.

The 2% dividend tax is exempt on dividend income of RM100,000 and below. If the dividend income is RM150,000, the first RM100,000 is exempt; only the extra RM50,000 is taxed at 2%. If you have other deductible expenses / reliefs, still can deduct.

i hope Maybank pays out bumper dividend of RM1.5 FY2024 before the tax regime kicks in FY2025

The 2% tax on dividends would only affect individuals who receive more than RM100,000 in dividends each year. I reckon less than 10% of individual Bursa investors receive over RM100,000 in dividends each year. Is a non issue for me.

Maybank has been super generous by declaring over 80% of its earnings as dividends for the past decade or so. Don't think it would declare a bumper dividend this year before the new tax regime takes effect just to please some rich individuals.

Many SMEs are closing Maybank accounts and opening at CIMB.

I am a 25 years business customer of Maybank and decided to join the smart masses to switch to CIMB.

At CIMB, they have huge stacks of Maybank runaways to process everyday.

Total financial impact to Maybank is drop of free float minimum RM100 Billion.
Bottom line this bank run will cost Maybank a RM4 Billion drop of net profits once this SME bank run on Maybank is completed.
Most of these SMEs runaways will never ever look back
