INTRODUCTION |

Malaysian Corporate Taxation is governed primarily by the Income Tax Act 1967 and applies to companies operating or deriving income from Malaysia. Corporate Tax operates on a territorial scope, taxing income arising in or derived from Malaysia, with specific exemptions for qualifying foreign-sourced income. Key areas include business income computation, deductibility rules under Sections 33, 34, and 39, and capital allowances under Schedule 3. Companies must comply with filing (Form C), tax estimates (CP204), instalment payments, incentives (RA, ITA, GITA/GITE), and transfer pricing requirements. Sales and Service Tax (SST) is Malaysia’s indirect tax system, with Sales Tax imposed on manufactured goods and Service Tax (now largely at 8%) imposed on a broad list of taxable services including professional, digital, logistics, and hospitality services. Businesses must ensure correct classification, invoice treatment, SST-02 reporting, and adherence to exemptions or special schemes. Stamp Duty applies to instruments, not transactions, including property transfers, share transfers, and loan agreements, with rates prescribed under the Stamp Act 1949. Digital stamping via STAMPS is now mandatory for most instruments, and exemptions/remissions apply for SMEs, restructuring exercises, and specific government incentives. Withholding Tax (WHT) applies to certain payments to non-residents—such as interest, royalty, technical services, and digital services—under Sections 107A, 109, 109B, and 109DA. Compliance requires correct rate application, treaty relief, CP37 filings, and timely payment to avoid penalties. Transfer Pricing (TP) rules require taxpayers engaging in related-party transactions to maintain contemporaneous TP documentation (Master File, Local File) and benchmark pricing to arm’s-length standards. IRBM’s TPTAF 2025 and updated TP Guidelines emphasize functional analysis, comparables, and surcharge risks, making TP a key audit focus area for Malaysian businesses. |
