LHDN & Dividends: What's the Tax Catch in 2026?

Most of your dividends in Malaysia are "Single-Tier," meaning the company already paid the tax. However, as of 2025/2026, there's a new 2% tax for those lucky enough to earn over RM100k in dividends.

The Strategy

Don't let tax fear stop you. 90% of retail investors won't pay a single extra sen. Just keep your records organized—or better yet, use a tool that automatically categorizes your REIT withholding tax for you.
