Bosnia and Herzegovina's Ministry of Finance has published synthesized text of the 2007 income tax treaty with Malaysia as impacted by the Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (MLI). The synthesized text was prepared on the basis of the reservations and notifications submitted to the Depositary by the respective countries. The authentic legal texts of the treaty and the MLI take precedence and remain the legal texts applicable.

The MLI applies for the 2007 Bosnia and Herzegovina-Malaysia tax treaty:

  • In Bosnia and Herzegovina:
    • with respect to taxes withheld at source on amounts paid or credited to non-residents, where the event giving rise to such taxes occurs on or after 1 January 2022;
    • with respect to all other taxes levied by Bosnia and Herzegovina, for taxes levied with respect to taxable periods beginning on or after 1 December 2021;
  • In Malaysia:
