Malaysian Corporate Tax Versus Others In Asia Pacific
Published by slang September 11th, 2006 in Asia-Pacific, Corporate Tax, VietnamAmong the measures announced in Budget 2007 is the reduction of the corporate tax from 28% currently to 27% next year and to 26% the following year.
Incidentally, Malaysia’s 28% corporate tax level has not changed since 1998.
However, our current Malaysia’s corporate tax rate is still one of the lowest among Asian countries – lower than Thailand (30%), Australia (30%) and even India (33.6%) – but higher than Singapore (20%), Hong Kong (17.5%) and Taiwan (25%) ( refer table).
