If your Sdn Bhd was set up with a nominee shareholder, a family member, or a holding company -> read this.

Many Malaysian business owners don't realise that their company could be non-compliant with SSM's Beneficial Ownership requirements even if all their other filings are up-to-date.

Here are the 5 most common mistakes we see:
❌ Assuming it only applies to large companies (it applies to ALL Sdn Bhd)
❌ Only listing registered shareholders, not the actual controlling person
❌ Not updating records after share transfers
❌ Keeping incomplete registers (missing NRIC, dates, nature of interest)
❌ Relying on verbal or undocumented nominee arrangements. If any of these sound familiar, your company's records may need a review.

📢 E-Invoice Update | Phase 4

The interim relaxation period has been extended until 31 December 2027, but let’s be clear:

🔹 The interim relaxation period has been extended until 31 December 2027
🔹 Previously set to end on 31 December 2026

⚠️ Important Clarification
This extension does NOT change the implementation timeline.

Businesses are still required to:
✔ Implement e-Invoicing as scheduled
✔ Submit consolidated e-Invoices on a monthly basis

💡 This extension provides additional flexibility to support a smoother transition — but compliance is still required.

📘 For full details, refer to the e-Invoice Specific Guideline (Version 4.7)https://www.hasil.gov.my/media/uwwehxwq/irbm-e-invoice-specific-guideline.pdf

📢 Stamp Duty Voluntary Disclosure (SD-VD) 2026 Is Now Open

Do you have agreements, contracts, or documents signed between 2023–2025 that were not stamped or stamped late?

LHDN has introduced the Stamp Duty Voluntary Disclosure (SD-VD) 2026 under the Program Khas Pengakuan Sukarela (PKPS) — allowing eligible taxpayers to regularise documents where stamp duty penalties may be waived, subject to conditions.

🗓 Programme period:
1 January 2026 – 30 June 2026

📄 Documents commonly affected:
✔ Agreements & contracts
✔ Tenancy & lease agreements
✔ Letters of offer / appointment
✔ Loan & financing documents
✔ Share transfer instruments

⚠️ Important:
Penalties may still appear on the assessment notice, but will be automatically waived during payment, if all PKPS requirements are met.

This is a time-limited compliance window before enforcement resumes.
