EUROCHAM Malaysia will be hosting our upcoming BizTalks Webinar together with Crowe Malaysia on the topic of Expatriate Tax Filing Requirements in Malaysia this month!

The webinar will be touching on the different income tax treatments that different countries have on individual/personal income tax. Malaysia adopts a territorial scope of taxation and the Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (“MIRB”) has introduced the self-assessment system with effect from the Year of Assessment (“YA”) 2004. Under the self-assessment system, an assessment is deemed to be made by the tax authorities on the day the return is submitted.

Connecting and building relationships is the name of the game – networking is the key to success and we couldn’t agree more!

EUROCHAM Malaysia is delighted to start the second quarter of the year with another anticipated networking session! Where there will be some light refreshments, drinks, and a whole lot of fun – we want to take this time to connect and further build our relationship with our fellow members and colleagues from our EU bilateral chambers.

We welcome our fellow members to join us at our networking event together with KSK Land

Greece has paid off its entire debt from the financial crisis to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), two years ahead of schedule.

Finance Minister Christos Staikouras said the repayment "closes the chapter" that was opened in May 2010.

"[This is] “a very positive development,” Staikouras stated, adding that the country could save around €230 million in interest.

Greece’s European Union bailout lenders gave the formal go-ahead last week for the early repayment of the outstanding loans worth €1.86 billion.
