Tax Depression:
The income tax rate for ordinary enterprises is 17% -24%, while the tax rate for small and medium-sized enterprises (with paid in capital ≤ 2.5 million Malaysian Ringgit and annual income ≤ 50 million Malaysian Ringgit) is 17%.
Green economy privileges: Renewable energy and electric vehicle companies enjoy 10 years of tax exemption and land rental subsidies (such as Ningde Times Penang factory receiving 120 million ringgit support).
Foreign investment friendly:
Industries such as manufacturing, technology, and digital economy allow 100% foreign ownership without mandatory local directors (50% lower cost compared to Singapore).
Trade hub:
With the help of RCEP and 16 free trade agreements, 90% of goods are exported to ASEAN/China, Japan, and South Korea with zero tariffs (for example, Shenzhen photovoltaic enterprises exporting to Vietnam through Malaysia have tariffs ranging from 8% to 0%).
2. Industry Adaptability Guidelines
| Recommended industries | advantageous region | policy support |
|---|---|---|
| Semiconductor/Electronic Manufacturing | Penang, Kuala Lumpur | 50% of global semiconductor packaging capacity gathers, and BOI enterprises are exempt from mechanical import tariffs |
| Halal products | Johor State | JAKIM Halal Certification is globally recognized, covering 61% of the Muslim market in the Middle East |
| digital economy | Johor Singapore Special Economic Zone | Corporate income tax of 5%+free cross-border flow of data |
⚠️ Restricted areas: Foreign ownership in the financial industry is ≤ 70%, and furniture manufacturing requires Thai capital holding (new regulations by 2025).
📊 2、 Comparison and Selection Guide for Company Types (Simplified Version 2025)
| type | Shareholders/Directors' Requirements | Foreign investment restrictions | Applicable scenarios | Annual maintenance cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private Limited Company (Sdn Bhd) | ≥ 1 shareholder+≥ 1 director (1 must be a Malay resident) | Manufacturing/technology can be 100% foreign-funded | Mainstream choice of Chinese funded enterprises | About 500-1000 ringgit |
| Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) | ≥ 2 partners (without nationality restrictions) | 100% foreign investment is allowed | Light asset start-up, low-cost trial run | About 200 ringgit |
| Representative Office (RO) | Wholly owned by the parent company | Prohibited business activities | Market research period enterprises | 60-300 forests |
💡 Selection strategy:
Long term operation: Priority given to Sdn Bhd (financing convenience+limited liability);
Quick trial run: Choose an LLP (no audit requirements+establishment only 1-3 days).
⚠️ 3、 Registration Core Requirements and Risk Avoidance 1 Exclusive threshold for foreign investment
Name specification: Must include the suffix "Sdn Bhd", name approval takes 1-2 days (cost 30 ringgit).
Registered capital
There is no minimum limit, but it is recommended to be ≥ 1 ringgit (manufacturing industry requires ≥ 100000 in practice).
Actual payment requirement: At least 25% must be paid during registration.
Address compliance: Actual office address within Malaysia is required (virtual address only for representative offices).
2. Risks of the New Policies in 2025
Origin fraud: The United States is cracking down on "Made in Malaysia" and requires a regional value content of at least 40% (with a focus on regulating furniture and electronic products);
Labor quota: Hiring foreign employees must be accompanied by at least 2 Malay employees, and it must be proven that the position cannot be replaced locally.
📍 4、 Regional policy dividends and industrial adaptation
| region | Policy Highlights | Adapt to the industry | tax incentives |
|---|---|---|---|
| Johor Singapore Special Economic Zone | 100% foreign land ownership+5% preferential tax rate | Digital economy, green energy | 100% tax subsidy for logistics enterprises |

| East Malaysia Sabah/Sarawak | Support for remote areas, reducing land costs by 40% | Agricultural technology, ecotourism | Income tax of 15% |
Architectural design suggestions:
China Holdings → Hong Kong Company → Malay Entity (using the China Malaysia tax treaty to reduce dividend provision tax to 5%);
Halal product companies need to plan ahead for JAKIM certification (with a cycle of 4-6 months).
