Malaysia TRANSFER PRICING for professionals

Overview

The Malaysian Transfer Pricing Guidelines govern the standard and rules based on the arm’s length principle to be applied on transactions between associated persons.

IRBM does not accept Transfer pricing methods based on global formulary apportionment on the basis that they are arbitrary and could not reliably approximate arm’s length conditions.

This kind of apportionment is predetermined and uses mechanistic formula usually based on a combination of costs, assets, payroll, and sales to allocate the global profits of an MNE group among associated enterprises in different countries. This is not acceptable.
Transfer pricing rules in Malaysia apply to both cross-border and domestic related party transactions.
Taxpayers who are involved in controlled transactions are required to maintain transfer pricing documentation. This includes taxpayers of below:

  1. Domestic controlled transactions where at least one party enjoys tax incentives or suffers from continual losses.
  2. Taxes at different rates, such that the effect of that transaction would result in adjustments that alter the total tax payable.

Related Party

Any person, directly or indirectly or in a common control position, that has equity controls of more than 20% over the other party, and satisfaction on the following situations:

  1. Business operations of that person depending on the proprietary rights of the other person.
  2. Business activities of that person are specified by the other person and the prices and other conditions relating to the supply are influenced by such other person.
  3. One or more of the directors or members of the BOD of a person are appointed by the other person.
