Overview

Why Malaysia?

Malaysia offers two attractive company structures: the Sdn Bhd (onshore, 24% tax) and the Labuan Company (international structure, 3% flat tax). Small companies with net assets under RM 2.5 million pay only 15% on the first RM 150,000 of profit.

SST (Sales and Services Tax) is 6–10% and only mandatory from an annual turnover of RM 500,000. Malaysia has double taxation agreements with over 70 countries, including Germany and Switzerland.

Strasia Group offers complete accounting and tax services for Malaysia: from ongoing bookkeeping to SSM annual reports and LHDN tax filing. We use QuickBooks and Xero and communicate via WhatsApp, Telegram, or email.
