Malaysia economy is based on free enterprise, with no restrictions on foreign ownership of a business. The repatriation of profits and the import of capital are freely allowed. Malaysia has a low corporate tax rate from 15% to 24% with effect from the year 2023 (or YA2023) onwards compared to other leading economies in the world. A company is taxed at a flat rate on its chargeable income and capital gains are not taxable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Features of Corporate Income Tax<\/h3>

A company, whether resident or not, is assessable on income accrued in or derived from Malaysia or received in Malaysia from outside Malaysia. A company is considered a resident in Malaysia if the control and management of its affairs are exercised in Malaysia.<\/p>

Income tax is levied on the net income of companies from sources within Malaysia and on foreign source income if remitted into Malaysia.<\/p>

A one-tier corporate tax system that results from the income tax payable on the normal chargeable income of a company is a final tax and shareholders will not be taxed on such dividend income.<\/p>

There is no capital gains tax on capital assets except disposal of real property in Malaysia. Tax losses can be carried forward and set off against future tax profits for a maximum of ten (10) consecutive years of assessment.<\/p>
