Hello
I just got approval for Digital nomad visa so I can legally live in JB while working in Singapore. But reading about taxes online forums, online forums are confusing about this situation and so is Malaysian immigration, as they asked me to register for taxes there. Has anyone experience in dealing with similar situation do you have to pay double taxes?

I really don't know, but for starters HOW will you be working in Singapore? As in physically being there daily by commuting across to Woodlands or working online (from Johor) for a company based in Singapore?

For the benefit of others, it seems taxes you have to pay at source i.e. in Singapore only but you do need to register with Malaysian tax authorities too. Regarding physical work location, I will be doing kind of hybrid work from home and few days travelling to Singapore (flexible timings so can avoid rush hour hopefully). But will see how ti goes in practice..

At source for sure but usually also at your place of residence, which in this case would be Malaysia. But the Digital Nomad visa might have its own rules that treat you differently from a tax perspective to a regular Malaysian citizen/resident.
