Malaysia: Leaving Malaysia without cancelling work visa or going through tax cleare:

Hello, I would like to resign from my current job and move back home for various reasons. I intend to give my employers as much notice as possible (much more than is required, 6 months actually) to help make the transition as smooth as possible. However, if my employers decide to make things difficult, what will be the consequence of leaving without reaching an agreement with them, cancelling my work visa and not going through tax clearance etc? My feeling is that it would just make things difficult if I wanted to come back in the future. I should emphasise that this isn't my preferred exit strategy, but it seems prudent to explore all options. If anyone has had any experience on this matter, it would be great to hear from you. Where possible please provide evidence such as links to gov websites, documents or other forums to back up any claims. Many thanks.

Malaysia: Resident and Non-resident tax status:

Hi, need some help please. I'm a foreigner about to start work in Malaysia. The main objective of this question is to find out what difference it will make if I start working in July or September 2016. 1. If I start working in Malaysia on the 1st September 2016, when will I gain resident tax status? 182 days from that date? Or does the 182 days start again from the 1st January 2017? 2. If I gain resident tax status in 2017, will i be able to claim back the extra tax I paid in 2016 as a non-resident? 3. If I start working on the 1st July 2016, I will qualify for resident tax status before 31st December 2016. Can I claim the extra tax I paid in 2016 as a non-resident back? 4. This may be complicated by the fact that I did have resident tax status in 2015, but completed tax clearance and left Malaysia in July 2015. How will this impact my tax status when I return?
