Corporate Income Tax in Malaysia

The economic landscape in Malaysia is characterized by an open-market system with zero limitations on foreign business ownership. The transference of profits and capital inflow are completely unrestricted. Malaysia’s corporate tax rate, ranging from 17% to 24%, is comparably lower than that of most advanced global economies. Companies are taxed on a sliding scale based on their chargeable income, with capital gains being non-taxable.

Whether resident or not, a company is liable for tax on income accrued in or derived from Malaysia or received in Malaysia from overseas. A company is identified as a Malaysian resident if its operational control and management are situated in Malaysia.

Personal Income Tax in Malaysia

Individual taxpayers are accountable for paying tax on income accrued in and derived from Malaysia or received in Malaysia from overseas. Income transferred to Malaysia by a resident individual is tax-exempt. A non-resident individual will be taxed exclusively on income generated within Malaysia. Given the availability of potential tax reductions, governmental incentives, and intricate tax implications, it is advisable to seek expert tax advice to optimally declare your income for the highest possible tax savings.

The rate of tax is subject to the individual’s resident status. In general, an individual who spends a minimum of 182 days within a calendar year in Malaysia is considered a tax resident.

A resident individual is taxed on chargeable income following the deduction of personal reliefs at a progressive rate from 0% to 30%, effective from the assessment year of 2020.

Our offered services include:

  • 1. Drafting individual income tax computations and filing of tax returns
  • 2. Filing of tax returns
