Pull Down Companies in Malaysia

A pull down company is one that is established in Malaysia but is controlled by foreigners. The company may be registered as a Malaysian company, but the management and control of the company reside outside of Malaysia. The main reason for setting up a pull down company in Malaysia is to take advantage of the country’s lower tax rates and to access the Malaysian market. While a pull down company may have some Malaysian shareholders, the ultimate control of the company rests with the foreign shareholders.
