FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does my Sdn Bhd need to be audited?
Most private companies in Malaysia must have their financial statements audited, unless they qualify for audit exemption (e.g. dormant, zero-revenue or threshold-qualified companies). We can confirm whether you qualify.
When is my company income tax due?
Form C is generally due within 7 months after your financial year-end, and a CP204 tax estimate is usually required before the basis period begins. We track your deadlines.
What is the SST registration threshold?
For most taxable services and goods, registration is required once annual taxable turnover exceeds RM500,000 (some categories differ). We'll advise based on your activity.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a Malaysian company?
Yes — many business activities allow 100% foreign ownership. Some regulated sectors require local equity or licensing. We'll guide you on structure and requirements.
Do sole proprietors need audited accounts?
No — sole proprietorships and partnerships don't require audited accounts, but must keep proper records and file Form B/P with LHDN. We handle the bookkeeping and filing for you.
When must my business comply with e-Invoicing?
Malaysia's e-Invoicing is rolled out in phases based on annual turnover. We'll confirm your applicable date and get your systems ready via MyInvois.
