About

Provided by Raja, Darryl & Loh

We believe that our tax practice has an excellent reputation as being comprehensive, proactive and thorough, not only in providing advice, but in representing clients in the Courts and before tribunals.  Furthermore, we are experienced in all aspects of Malaysian taxes including income tax, real property gains tax, customs duties, sales & service tax, entertainments duty and stamp duty.  Appearing often before the Special Commissioners of Income Tax, the Customs Appeal Tribunal, the High Court and the Court of Appeal, we have tax litigation experience in all forms of tax law.   Our success on issues has prompted legislative changes to the Income Tax Act, 1967.

Our work includes advising on corporate and individual tax planning, withholding tax, tax holidays/incentives (including applying for incentive packages and negotiating with government authorities), GST, transfer pricing, stamp duty, customs duties and the Labuan International Business and Financial Centre. 

Due to the fact that we represent clients from many and varied industry sectors – including banking, insurance, manufacturing, shipping, aviation, construction, property development, hospitality, engineering, plantations, brewery, tobacco, oil & gas, technology, telecommunications, automotive, trading, infrastructure, highway concession and healthcare – we are confident that we have a good grasp of the issues faced by most companies in the market.
