The government has proposed to review the tax incentives for companies which are relocating their operations to Malaysia.

Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz said the application period for the tax incentives will be extended for another one year, and the scope of tax incentives will be expanded to companies in selected services sector, including companies adapting Industrial Revolution 4.0 technologies.

The government also plans to introduce a new tax incentive scheme for global trading centres, with an income tax rate of 10% for a period of five years and renewable for another five years, as a measure to enhance and simplify tax incentive for trading activities previously covered under the Principal Hub incentives.

Tengku Zafrul said in addition to the incentive for companies which are relocating their operations to Malaysia, a special income tax rate treatment for non-resident individuals holding key positions in companies investing in new strategic investments will also be introduced. "This tax incentive is limited to five non-resident individuals employed in each company that has been granted relocation tax incentive under the PENJANA initiative,” he said.
