Why Normalis

A Considered Approach

Our work is characterised by depth of attention, clear communication, and a close reading of Malaysian law.

Malaysian Law Expertise

Our advisors work exclusively with Malaysian legislation — the Companies Act 2016, IRBM guidelines, and the MACC Act. We do not apply generic frameworks where local knowledge matters.

Thorough Assessment

Each engagement begins with a structured review of your current position. We take the time to understand the specifics before offering any recommendation.

Clear Documentation

All advice is supported by written documentation — board resolutions, policy papers, or submission summaries — so there is always a record of what was agreed and why.

Accessible Communication

Legal language can obscure rather than inform. We present our findings plainly, so you can make decisions from a position of genuine understanding.

Ongoing Support

Regulatory obligations do not end after one submission. Many clients retain Normalis on an ongoing basis to stay current with changes to compliance requirements.

Confidentiality

Client matters are handled with strict discretion. Your financial and corporate information is not shared beyond what is required for your engagement.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Tax Advisory from Normalis involve?
Our tax advisory service covers a review of your current tax position — whether as an individual with complex income sources or as a business entity. We identify areas that warrant attention, advise on available incentive applications under the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia framework, and assist with the preparation of relevant submissions. Engagements are typically structured around your annual tax cycle or tied to a specific transaction.
Who needs Company Secretarial services?
Under the Companies Act 2016, every company registered in Malaysia is required to appoint a company secretary. Our service is appropriate for private limited companies (Sdn Bhd), public companies (Bhd), and foreign-owned subsidiaries operating in Malaysia. We handle annual return filings with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM), maintenance of statutory records, and preparation of board resolutions and minutes.
What is Section 17A of the MACC Act and why does it matter?
Section 17A of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 introduced corporate liability for corruption-related offences. A company can be held liable for corrupt acts by associated persons — including employees and agents — unless it can demonstrate that it had adequate procedures in place to prevent such conduct. Our compliance engagement helps you assess your current framework, develop anti-bribery policies, and document a defensible compliance position.
How long does a typical engagement take?
The duration depends on the service. Tax advisory engagements are often tied to annual filing deadlines and may involve ongoing work throughout the year. Company secretarial services are retainer-based, running continuously. Anti-Corruption Compliance engagements typically run between six to ten weeks from the initial assessment through to final documentation and staff training delivery.
What information should I prepare before the first meeting?
For tax advisory, it is helpful to bring your most recent tax assessments, company registration documents (if applicable), and any correspondence from the IRBM. For company secretarial, have your current statutory documents and SSM filings to hand. For anti-corruption compliance, information about your organisational structure, existing policies, and key business relationships will allow us to begin the assessment more efficiently.
Are retainer arrangements available?
Yes. Company secretarial services are well-suited to retainer arrangements, given the ongoing nature of statutory obligations. Some clients also retain our firm for periodic tax advisory check-ins throughout the year. We are happy to discuss the most appropriate arrangement for your situation during an initial consultation.
