Tax Services & Tax Agents in Malaysia
When should you consider engaging a tax agent? The answer is simple – when things get complicated, it is always wise to have a professional who is able to guide you through. A tax agent can offer professional advice and work with you to file for an amended return and help minimise the damage previously caused as well as the next best steps to take.

Should I Open A Subsidiary or A Branch in Malaysia?
While opening a branch is administratively easier, faster and less costly to set up, it may not enjoy some of the benefits presented by a subsidiary company. The choice may depend on the parent company’s available capital, the nature of the business needs, company priorities and available resources. Foreign corporations wishing to enter the Malaysian market should understand and carefully consider on the advantages of both the branch and the subsidiary before making the decision.

What is a Nominee Director?
In Hong Kong, Singapore and other offshore jurisdictions, local statutory laws demand that information of shareholders and directors in company registry be made public. This means their names and addresses are made searchable by anyone. Specifically for Hong Kong private companies, it is a statutory requirement for one director that is a natural person of any nationality (and not simply a corporation) be named and registered.

Double Tax Agreements in Malaysia
When it comes to taxation, no company likes to be charged twice when engaging in cross-border transactions. Double taxation usually occurs when any individual taxpayer of Malaysia engages in an international business transaction within the territory of another country. Such transactions are not tax friendly as international exports and imports are a common source of income for countries.

How to Avoid Withholding Tax?
Like many other tax jurisdictions, Malaysia, through its Income Tax Act 1967, imposes withholding taxes (WHT) on certain payment to certain groups of non-residents (NR). Withholding tax is essentially a mechanism to collect income tax by imposing on the party making payment to a non-resident, a legal obligation, to withhold tax at the source and remits it to the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) within a stipulated time period.

Should I Incorporate a Subsidiary or a Branch Office?
Not all business entities in Malaysia can be 100% foreign owned. Hence, it is important for any foreigners who wish to start a company in Malaysia to know which types of business entities permit foreign-ownership.

Nominee Director vs. Regular Director
On 3 Mar 2014, the Government of Hong Kong’s Companies Registry saw the implementation of the new Companies Ordinance (CO) came into operation. Under the new CO, Cap. 622 Section 457(2), every private Hong Kong company must have at all times, at least one company director on its board, who is a natural person i.e. an individual. The intention is to enhance transparency and accountability.

Agnes is an entrepreneur and writer with a corporate business background in various top management capacities focusing on strategic management, frontline effectiveness, operations efficiency, and service quality audit, having served in diverse industries such as education, healthcare, hospitality, and logistics.

Currently pursuing her doctoral degree, she passionately believes that words are one of the most powerful forces available to humankind. Her true passion lies in wielding the sword we call pen or rather keyboard and the shield we call paper or monitor screen.

It is in writing that Agnes found her real freedom of expression. She genuinely believes that words have the power to construct or destruct. If well used, they can open any hearts and shut any mouths.

She especially loves creative writing and telling stories about people and life. In a more serious tone, she also enjoys writing about social science topics, branding and marketing-related content as well as creating educational tutorial video content, which includes scripting, screencasting and voice-over.

Her portfolio includes content creation (text, graphic, audio & video), copywriting, business writing, academic and research writing as well as creative writing, some of which are in the capacity of a ghostwriter.

Agnes believes in reaching out to people, one heart at a time, creating awareness, and changing the world, one word at a time.

“Remember, your words can plants gardens or burn whole forests down.” ~Gemma Troy
