Labuan is a Malaysian federal territory and a recognised international business and financial centre. It provides a framework for entrepreneurs and companies that operate across borders and want a credible, well-regulated base within Asia.

A Labuan company is established through a licensed Labuan trust company and is supervised within the Labuan legislative framework. It may be used for a range of international business activities, subject to the proposed activity, due diligence and applicable regulatory requirements.

Qualifying Labuan activities may receive specific treatment under applicable Labuan legislation, subject to substance, activity and compliance requirements. Independent tax advice is required and outcomes depend on your circumstances.

The appropriate structure depends on your business and circumstances. Contact us to know more.
