Pada amnya, pendapatan daripada penggajian sepatutnya dikenakan cukai di negara di mana perkhidmatan dilakukan tanpa mengira tempat di mana kontrak ditanda tangan atau di mana saraan dibayar.
Mulai Tahun Taksiran 2004, pendapatan yang diterima di Malaysia dari luar Malaysia adalah dikecualikan daripada cukai. Oleh itu, pembayar cukai sama ada yang bermastautin atau yang tidak bermastautin di Malaysia dikenakan cukai atas pendapatan yang diperoleh dari Malaysia sahaja (Perenggan 28(1), Jadual 6 Akta Cukai Pendapatan 1967).
Sekiranya tuan telah bekerja di luar negara dan pekerjaan yang dijalankan berkaitan dengan penggajian yang dijalankan di Malaysia, maka pendapatan penggajian yang diperolehi akan dikenakan cukai di Malaysia.
