KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia said on Tuesday it would expand tax incentives for companies that use the country as a base for conducting their regional or global business.

Effective this year, companies eligible for the government's Principal Hub incentive will be able to enjoy a 10 percent tax rate for their operations instead of the wider corporate tax rate of 24 percent, the Malaysian Investment Development Authority said.

Companies that have yet to establish a presence in Malaysia can apply for tax rates of 0 percent and 5 percent for 10 years based on their investments and job-creation commitments. Previously the tax rates for such companies were 0 percent, 5% and 10 percent. "The review aims to make Malaysia competitive with other countries in the region as the optimal headquarters hub in Asia Pacific."
