HORIZON HUB CONSULTING · TAX GUIDE
The Complete 2026 Guide for Sdn. Bhd. and Labuan Companies
Updated: April 2026 · Last verified: April 2026 · By Horizon Hub Consulting
Malaysia’s tax system is one of the most competitive in Southeast Asia for foreign entrepreneurs — but it is also frequently misunderstood. Many new business owners focus only on the headline corporate tax rate and miss the full picture: withholding taxes on cross-border payments, mandatory payroll contributions when hiring staff, Sales and Service Tax on revenues above a threshold, and new 2026 e-invoicing obligations that affect every company’s compliance workflow.
This guide covers every tax a foreign-owned Sdn. Bhd. or Labuan company is likely to pay in Malaysia, with accurate rates verified against LHDN, SSM, and Budget 2026 official sources.
| What this guide covers |
| Corporate income tax — rate, what’s taxable, what’s exempt |
| SME preferential rates and why most foreign companies don’t qualify |
| Withholding tax on dividends, royalties, interest, and service fees |
| Sales and Service Tax (SST) — registration threshold, current rates |
| Employer payroll contributions: EPF, SOCSO, EIS, HRDF |
| Labuan company tax options |
| Key 2026 updates: e-invoicing mandate, FSI exemption extension, dividend tax |
| Full tax comparison table and realistic cost estimates |
1. Corporate Income Tax — The Main Tax Every Company Pays
Standard rate: 24% flat on all chargeable (taxable) income accruing in or derived from Malaysia.
This rate applies to all companies — regardless of whether they are Malaysian-owned or foreign-owned. There is no additional tax or surcharge for foreign ownership. The 24% corporate tax rate has remained unchanged and is confirmed to remain at 24% for Year of Assessment 2026.
What income is subject to the 24% corporate tax?
- Revenue earned from Malaysian customers for services performed inside Malaysia
- Profits from goods manufactured, sold, or traded in Malaysia
- Rental income from Malaysian properties
- Interest income accruing in or derived from Malaysia
- Royalty income accruing in or derived from Malaysia
- Income from business operations physically conducted in Malaysia
What income is NOT subject to corporate tax?
- Capital gains from disposal of shares in Malaysian companies (in most cases) — Malaysia does not levy capital gains tax on share disposals, though Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) applies to property disposals
- Single-tier dividends received from Malaysian resident companies (exempt under the single-tier system)
| Critical: Foreign-sourced income exemption deadline |
| The exemption on foreign-sourced dividends and capital gains for companies/LLPs currently runs until 31 December 2026 under the existing framework. |
| Budget 2026 extended coverage from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030, but this extension is not yet in effect. |
| For the period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2026: conditional exemption applies if the income has already been taxed in the country of origin and the headline tax rate there is at least 15%. |
| Companies should confirm their specific situation with a licensed tax advisor before 31 December 2026. |

2. SME Tax Rates — Why Foreign Companies Are Excluded
Malaysia offers preferential tax rates to qualifying Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). However, the vast majority of foreign-owned Sdn. Bhd. companies do not qualify.
| Tax rate | Applicable income | Who qualifies |
| 15% | First RM 150,000 of chargeable income | Malaysian SME with paid-up capital ≤ RM 2.5 million, gross income ≤ RM 50 million — AND less than 20% foreign shareholding |
| 17% | Next RM 450,000 (RM 150,001 to RM 600,000) | Same SME qualifying conditions as above |
| 24% | All chargeable income above RM 600,000; or all income for non-qualifying companies | All foreign-owned Sdn. Bhd. (≥ 20% foreign shareholding), large companies, Labuan entities |
| Rule confirmed: ≥ 20% foreign shareholding = 24% flat rate |
| Under the Income Tax Act 1967, if 20% or more of a company’s paid-up share capital is held by a foreign company or non-Malaysian citizen, the company is NOT eligible for the 15% or 17% SME preferential rates. |
| Most foreign-owned Sdn. Bhd. companies hold 51%–100% foreign shares, so the flat 24% rate applies to all chargeable income. |

3. Withholding Tax — Tax on Cross-Border Payments
Withholding tax (WHT) is deducted by the Malaysian payer when making certain payments to non-residents. The payer is legally responsible for withholding the tax and remitting it to LHDN within one month of the payment date. Failure to do so triggers an automatic 10% penalty on the unpaid amount.
| Payment type | Standard WHT rate | Notes |
| Royalties | 10% | Broad definition includes software licences, visual images, data transmissions. Reduced rates may apply under a DTA. |
| Interest (paid to non-residents) | 15% | Exempt if paid on loans guaranteed by the Malaysian government, or by a licensed bank to a non-resident. DTA may reduce rate. |
| Technical/management service fees | 10% | Applies when services are rendered in Malaysia by a non-resident entity. Excludes services performed entirely outside Malaysia. |
| Dividends (paid to non-resident shareholders) | 0% (standard) | Malaysia uses a single-tier system — corporate tax is final. However, a 15% WHT applies to dividends paid by certain non-resident or special-status entities. Check your specific situation. |
| Contract payments (non-resident contractors) | 10% (contract) + 3% (employee portion) | Applies to payments for services performed in Malaysia by non-resident contractors |
| Public entertainer income | 15% | Performers, athletes, etc. working in Malaysia |
| Special classes of income (Section 4A) | 10%–15% | Includes technical advice, assistance, services; rental of movable property |
Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) — reducing WHT
Malaysia has signed 73 comprehensive DTAs with countries across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. Under a DTA, the applicable WHT rate on royalties, interest, and technical fees can be significantly reduced — sometimes to 0%. The table below shows verified rates from the PwC Malaysia Tax Booklet (2024/2025), cross-referenced against the LHDN official DTA schedule.
| Country | Royalties (DTA rate) | Interest (DTA rate) | Technical fees (DTA rate) |
| China | 10% | 10% or Nil | 10% |
| United Kingdom | 8% | 10% or Nil | 8% |
| Singapore | 8% | 10% or Nil | 5% |
| UAE | 10% | 5% or Nil | 10% |
| Germany | 7% | 10% or Nil | 7% |
| Japan | 10% | 10% or Nil | 10% |
| India | 10% | 10% or Nil | 10% |
| South Korea (Republic of Korea) | 10% or Nil | 15% or Nil | 10% |
| Vietnam | 10% | 10% or Nil | 10% |
| Russia (Russian Federation) | 10% or Nil | 15% or Nil | 10% |
| Kazakhstan | 10% | 10% or Nil | 10% |
| South Africa | 5% | 10% or Nil | 5% |
| Saudi Arabia (limited DTA — air transport only) | 8% | 5% or Nil | 8% |
| Australia | 10% | 15% or Nil | Nil |
| Hong Kong | 8% | 10% or Nil | 5% |
| Qatar | 8% | 5% or Nil | 8% |
| Turkey | 10% | 15% or Nil | 10% |
| Pakistan | 10% or Nil | 15% or Nil | 10% or Nil |
| Indonesia | 10% | 10% or Nil | 10% |
| Thailand | 10% or Nil | 15% or Nil | 10% or Nil |
| No DTA (standard domestic rate) | 10% | 15% | 10% |
| Countries NOT covered by a Malaysian DTA — important for your planning |
| The following countries you asked about do NOT have a comprehensive DTA with Malaysia: |
| • Brazil — no DTA in force. Standard WHT rates apply (royalties 10%, interest 15%, technical fees 10%). |
| • Azerbaijan — no comprehensive DTA with Malaysia. Standard domestic rates apply. |
| • Taiwan — Malaysia does not have an official DTA with Taiwan due to the one-China policy. There is no gazetted comprehensive tax treaty. Standard WHT rates apply. |
| • Saudi Arabia — has only a limited DTA covering air transport operations, not a full comprehensive income tax treaty. |
| If you are transacting with entities in these countries, apply standard domestic WHT rates and seek professional advice on structuring. |
| Source: PwC Malaysia Tax Booklet 2024/2025 (official DTA rates table); LHDN Comprehensive DTA list; Malaysia has 73 comprehensive DTAs as of 2024. |
| How to claim DTA benefits |
| To apply a reduced DTA rate, the foreign recipient must: |
| • Be a tax resident of the treaty country |
| • Obtain a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) from their home country’s tax authority |
| • Submit the TRC and a DTA application form to LHDN before the payment is made |
| Failure to submit before the payment means the standard domestic rate applies by default. |

4. Sales and Service Tax (SST) — When Does It Apply?
SST is not a corporate income tax. It is a consumption tax collected by your company on behalf of the government, passed on to your customers. Whether your company must register and charge SST depends on your annual revenue and business activity.
SST registration threshold
RM 500,000 in annual taxable turnover. Registration becomes mandatory within 30 days of exceeding this threshold, regardless of whether your company is foreign or locally owned.
| SST type | Current rate (2026) | Applies to |
| Service Tax — most services | 8% | Consulting, IT, digital marketing, management services, professional services, logistics (freight forwarding, warehousing) |
| Service Tax — selected essential services | 6% | Food & Beverage, telecommunications, parking provision, certain logistics services |
| Service Tax — credit/charge cards | RM 25/card/year | Per credit or charge card issued |
| Sales Tax — most goods | 10% | Goods manufactured or imported that are taxable, typically non-essential consumer goods |
| Sales Tax — selected goods | 5% | Certain consumer goods; refer to RMCD gazette for full list |
| Exported services | 0% | Services where the recipient is outside Malaysia — not subject to SST |
| Exported goods | 0% | Goods exported from Malaysia |
| Important for consulting and IT companies |
| One of the most common misunderstandings: Malaysian SST applies based on where services are RENDERED (performed), not where the client is located. |
| If your Sdn. Bhd. is providing services from Malaysia to an overseas client, and those services are performed inside Malaysia, SST may still apply. |
| However, under the Service Tax Act 2018, exported services (where services are genuinely performed for and consumed outside Malaysia) are zero-rated. |
| Getting this classification correct is important — RMCD enforcement on SST misclassification has increased significantly since 2024. |

5. Employer Payroll Contributions — The Hidden Cost of Hiring
This is the section most foreign companies miss entirely. When you hire Malaysian employees, you are legally required to make monthly statutory contributions to three schemes. These are not optional — failure to comply can result in fines, criminal prosecution, and disruption to your company’s operating licences.
| Contribution | Employer rate (2026) | Employee rate (2026) | Salary ceiling | Covers |
| EPF (Employees Provident Fund / KWSP) | 12% for salaries ≤ RM 5,000 13% for salaries > RM 5,000 | 11% | No ceiling — applies to all salary levels (use official Third Schedule table) | Retirement savings. Mandatory for all Malaysian/PR employees. Now also mandatory for foreign workers from October 2025. |
| SOCSO (Social Security / PERKESO) | ~1.75% (varies by salary bracket) | 0.5% | RM 6,000/month (increased from RM 4,000 in Oct 2024) | Workplace injury, invalidity, death. Employer contribution follows tiered table. |
| EIS (Employment Insurance System) | 0.2% | 0.2% | RM 5,000/month (EIS ceiling differs from SOCSO) | Retrenchment support and job re-placement assistance. Ages 18–59 only. |
| HRDF (Human Resource Development Fund) | 1% of monthly payroll | Nil | Applies to monthly wages | Mandatory for employers in designated industries (services, manufacturing, mining). Used for employee training and upskilling. |
| Total employer cost above gross salary (2026) |
| For a Malaysian employee earning RM 5,000/month: |
| • EPF (employer): 13% = RM 650 |
| • SOCSO (employer): approx. RM 69.05 (per PERKESO table) |
| • EIS (employer): 0.2% = RM 10 (capped at RM 5,000) |
| • HRDF (if applicable): 1% = RM 50 |
| • Total additional employer cost: approx. RM 779/month on top of RM 5,000 gross salary (~15.6% overhead) |
| Budget 15–20% above gross salary for total employer cost. For foreign employees (with Employment Pass), EPF is now mandatory from October 2025. |

6. Labuan Company Tax — The Offshore Alternative
If your business generates revenue primarily from outside Malaysia, a Labuan company offers significantly lower tax rates under the Labuan Business Activity Tax Act 1990 (LBATA). Labuan is a Federal Territory of Malaysia governed by a separate tax framework administered by the Labuan Financial Services Authority (Labuan FSA).
| Tax / obligation | Labuan trading company | Labuan non-trading (holding) company |
| Corporate income tax | 3% on audited net profit — OR — RM 20,000 flat annual tax (choice of payer) | 0% — fully tax-exempt on passive investment income |
| Tax on dividends paid to shareholders | 0% — dividends are exempt in the hands of recipients | 0% |
| Capital gains tax | 0% | 0% |
| SST | Not applicable (Labuan does not operate domestically) | Not applicable |
| Annual compliance cost (approx.) | RM 12,000–RM 25,000 (includes Labuan FSA licence renewal, registered agent, audit if required) | RM 8,000–RM 18,000 |
| Permitted activities | International trading, consulting (to non-Malaysian clients), holding, IP licensing, fintech (with Labuan FSA licence) | Holding shares, property, assets — no active trading |
| Key restriction | Cannot actively conduct business inside Malaysia without additional licensing and full Malaysian tax exposure | Cannot generate revenue — passive only |
| Choosing between RM flat tax vs 3% on profit for Labuan |
| If your company earns USD 200,000 net profit (~RM 940,000 at current rates): |
| • 3% option: 3% × RM 940,000 = RM 28,200 tax |
| • RM 20,000 flat: RM 20,000 tax — saving RM 8,200 |
| The flat RM 20,000 tax is more efficient for companies with profits above approximately RM 667,000 (threshold where 3% = RM 20,000). |
| For lower-profit companies or startups, 3% may be lower. Both options require an election each year. |
| Source: Labuan Business Activity Tax Act 1990 (LBATA); Labuan FSA official guidelines. |
7. Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) — Selling Malaysian Property
If your company owns real property (land or buildings) in Malaysia and sells it, RPGT applies on the chargeable gain. This is separate from corporate income tax.
| Disposal period (after acquisition date) | RPGT rate for companies |
| Within 3 years | 30% |
| In the 4th year | 20% |
| In the 5th year | 15% |
| After 5 years | 10% |
Note: From 1 January 2024, capital gains from disposal of shares in unlisted Malaysian companies are generally NOT subject to capital gains tax under the standard framework (with limited exceptions). RPGT applies only to real property, not share disposals.
8. New in 2026 — Tax Changes Every Foreign Company Must Know
e-Invoicing (MyInvois) — mandatory for most companies from 2025–2026
LHDN’s e-invoicing mandate requires all companies to issue invoices validated through the MyInvois system. The rollout is phased by annual turnover:
| Implementation phase | Annual turnover | Mandatory from |
| Phase 1 | > RM 100 million | 1 August 2024 |
| Phase 2 | RM 25M – RM 100M | 1 January 2025 |
| Phase 3 | RM 5M – RM 25M | 1 July 2025 |
| Phase 4 | RM 1M – RM 5M | 1 January 2026 (grace period until 31 December 2026) |
| Phase 5 | < RM 1M (unless MSME exempt) | 1 July 2026 |
| MSME exemption | < RM 1M AND meets independence criteria | Currently exempt — but must reassess annually |
| What this means for your foreign-owned company |
| From 1 January 2026, all transactions above RM 10,000 must have an individual e-invoice (no consolidated invoices allowed for these). |
| Your accounting software must integrate with or submit through LHDN’s MyInvois portal or a certified API provider. |
| Without valid e-invoices, LHDN may disallow your expense deductions — directly increasing your taxable income. |
| This applies to both B2B and B2C transactions. Even invoices to overseas clients (for SST purposes) must go through MyInvois if you are in a mandatory phase. |

2% dividend tax on individuals — new from Year of Assessment 2025
From YA 2025 (tax return filed in 2026), individual shareholders in Malaysia who receive dividend income exceeding RM 100,000 per year are subject to a 2% dividend tax on the excess. This applies at the individual shareholder level — not at the company level. It affects foreign directors or shareholders who are Malaysian tax residents and receive dividends from their Malaysian company.
Foreign-sourced income (FSI) exemption extended through 2030
Budget 2026 extended the tax exemption on foreign-sourced dividends and capital gains received in Malaysia by resident companies and LLPs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030. For companies relying on this exemption to repatriate profits from overseas subsidiaries, this provides planning certainty through 2030.
Stamp duty on property purchases by foreign companies — increased from January 2026
From 1 January 2026, foreign individuals and foreign companies purchasing Malaysian residential property are subject to a flat stamp duty rate of 4%–8% (increased from the previous tiered structure). This does not affect commercial property purchases or business operations — only residential property acquisitions.

10. Realistic Annual Tax Cost Estimates
To give you a practical sense of total tax costs, here are two example scenarios — both with RM 1,000,000 net profit before tax:
| Scenario | Tax item | Amount (RM) | Notes |
| Sdn. Bhd. — local services, 1 employee @ RM 5,000/month | Corporate income tax (24%) | 240,000 | On RM 1M profit |
| SST (8%, if registered) | Collected from customers, passed to RMCD | SST is not a cost to your company — it is collected on behalf of RMCD | |
| EPF employer (13% of RM 60,000/yr salary) | 7,800 | For 1 employee × 12 months | |
| SOCSO employer | approx. RM 828 | Based on PERKESO table at RM 5,000/month | |
| EIS employer (0.2% × RM 60,000) | 120 | ||
| Total tax and statutory cost | approx. RM 248,748 | ~24.9% effective tax rate on RM 1M profit | |
| Labuan trading company — international revenue | Labuan tax (flat RM 20,000) | 20,000 | On RM 1M profit |
| No SST | Nil | Labuan does not trade locally | |
| No EPF/SOCSO (if no Malaysian staff) | Nil | ||
| Compliance costs (agent, audit, licence renewal) | approx. RM 18,000–25,000 | Annual Labuan FSA obligations | |
| Total tax and compliance cost | approx. RM 38,000–45,000 | ~3.8%–4.5% effective rate on RM 1M profit |
| Important caveat on estimates |
| These are illustrative estimates based on current rates and a simplified scenario. Actual tax liability depends on allowable deductions, sector-specific incentives, transfer pricing rules, and other factors specific to your company. Always work with a licensed Malaysian tax agent for your actual tax planning. |
