Structures established in Labuan benefit from a regulatory and tax framework designed to support cross-border business, provided the prescribed economic substance requirements are met.
Trading Activities — Income from qualifying trading activities is taxed at a preferential rate of 3% on net audited profits, or a flat RM20,000, subject to meeting economic substance requirements such as minimum local operating expenditure and full-time employees based in Labuan. Entities that fall short of these requirements may instead be taxed at the standard rate of up to 24%.
Non-Trading / Holding Activities — Qualifying non-trading activities, such as pure equity holding, may qualify for a 0% tax rate.
Exemptions on Distributions & Payments — Dividends, inter-company interest, royalties, and Section 4A service fees, whether received or paid, are generally exempt from income tax and withholding tax under the applicable Income Tax (Exemption) Orders.
Indirect Taxes — As a free port, Labuan entities are generally exempt from Sales and Service Tax (SST), Value-Added Tax (VAT), Goods and Services Tax (GST), and stamp duty.
Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and compliance with applicable regulations. We recommend seeking independent tax advice specific to your structure.
