Is intern allowance taxable in Malaysia?

Is intern allowance taxable in Malaysia? If I hire 2 interns for my company, are their allowances subject to taxation? If I hire more than 2 interns, is the taxation applied to only one intern or to all?

According to Para 4 of the Income Tax Rules, internship allowances paid to students can qualify for double deduction. This is as long as the monthly allowance during the internship is at least RM500.

Yes, intern allowances are taxable in Malaysia. They are considered part of the intern's income and subject to taxation under Malaysian law.
