CORPORATE TAX COMPLIANCE

Withholding Tax

Compliant withholding, no surprises

Withholding tax strategy & compliance


Withholding tax applies to payments made to non-residents and certain local transactions. We help you determine the correct tax to deduct, prepare and submit returns and ensure compliance with Malaysian tax laws and double tax agreements. With IRB tightening enforcement on cross-border payments, especially in digital services, failure to comply can lead to hefty penalties and disallowed deductions.

Our services include


  • Submission of withholding tax returns 
  • Advice on withholding tax applicable to payments to non-residents
