Transfer Pricing Documentation

CONTEMPORANEOUS TRANSFER PRICING DOCUMENTATION (CTPD)
Full CTPD & Minimum CTPD

Malaysia has well-defined CTPD requirements. Preparing contemporaneous transfer pricing documentation by companies with controlled transactions is required by S140A and S139 of Income Tax Act 1967. These requirements are explained in detail in the Malaysia Transfer Pricing Guidelines 2012. The new Malaysia Income Tax (Transfer Pricing) Rules 2023 (which revoked Transfer Pricing Rule 2012)

requires that contemporaneous TPD must be prepared prior to the date for filing tax return and the date of preparation must be stated on the CTPD. Failure to comply these requirements attract penalty ranging between RM20,000 to RM100,000 per company for each year of assessment and imprisonment of directors for a term not exceeding six months.
