Labuan companies, kept compliant by their operator.
Labuan corporate services are the statutory and administrative functions a Labuan company maintains each year. They cover a licensed resident secretary, a registered office in Labuan, accounting, tax filing under LBATA, economic substance and expatriate support. A licensed Labuan trust company is required to hold the secretary and registered office roles.
Through the year, the team behind the company must hold the registered office, keep statutory registers, post the books, meet substance, and file the tax return on time. Too often that work is split across separate providers that do not talk to each other.
We deliver formation, secretarial, accounting, substance, tax and expatriate support as your single licensed operator. One accountable team and a shared filing calendar mean each obligation feeds the next instead of stalling between desks.

Speak to our teamFrequently asked.
Direct answers on secretarial duties, substance, tax and annual filing for Labuan companies.
Does a Labuan company need a resident secretary and registered office?
Yes. Every Labuan company must appoint a licensed Labuan trust company as its company secretary and maintain a registered office in Labuan. As a licensed trust company, we provide the registered office and resident secretary and keep the statutory registers current.
What economic substance must a Labuan company meet?
Substance scales by activity. A Labuan trading company generally needs at least two full-time employees in Labuan and minimum annual operating expenditure of RM 50,000. A pure equity holding company exercises management and control in Labuan and meets a lower expenditure floor. We assess the footprint your activity requires before the period closes.
How is a Labuan company taxed under LBATA?
Labuan trading activity is taxed at 3 percent of audited net profits under the Labuan Business Activity Tax Act. Non-trading activity, such as holding investments on the entity's own behalf, is taxed at 0 percent. A company that fails substance requirements is taxed at 24 percent. We file the elections and returns that keep your rate correct.
What does a Labuan company file each year?
A Labuan trading company appoints an approved auditor and lodges its annual return with Labuan FSA. It files the LBATA return of profits with audited accounts to the Inland Revenue Board within seven months of its financial year-end, under the self-assessment system. Holding companies have lighter requirements and need not be audited. We prepare the accounts, coordinate the audit, and manage the filing calendar.
Can directors and staff get work permits in Labuan?
Yes. A Labuan company can sponsor employment passes for directors and key employees, with dependant passes for family. Eligibility depends on the role and the company's substance. We prepare the applications and manage relocation steps for incoming staff.
Why run all corporate services through one operator?
Formation, secretarial, accounting, tax, substance and expatriate work are linked. A filing date depends on the audit, the audit depends on the books, the books depend on substance. One licensed operator keeps these connected, so nothing falls between providers.
