Reporting
Compliance and regulatory reporting
Labuan licensed entities carry reporting obligations to both Labuan FSA and the Inland Revenue Board — we prepare the reports and deliver them to you for timely submission.
Labuan's regulators have tightened their requirements steadily in order to meet international standards, and reporting obligations now apply across all Labuan licensed entities. This is what protects Labuan's standing as a compliant international financial centre, and by extension Malaysia's reputation.
We provide guidance across all aspects of reporting, together with the back-office capacity to actually produce the returns. Our Compliance Officer sits on the Board, and our non-executive director advises specifically on legal and compliance matters.
Official information you can obtain on a Labuan entity
| Free basic search | Returns the registered office, the registered agent (the trust company) and the status — active, struck off or dissolved. Usually available within the hour, at no cost |
|---|---|
| Letter of Information (LOI) | A customisable extract of the Registry record. USD 200, issued in 5 business days; express service USD 300 more, issued in 1 business day |
| Entity Profile | Identical content to the Letter of Information, but not customisable. Same fee and turnaround |
| What the LOI and Entity Profile contain | Company name and number, date of incorporation, directors and secretaries, total shares issued, shareholders and their holdings, registered office, nature of business, and any charges |
| Letter of Good Standing (LOGS) | Confirms there is no outstanding fee or compound payable to Labuan FSA, no merger or consolidation, and that the entity is not being wound up. Commonly required for bank account opening and for registering the entity abroad. Same fee and turnaround |
| Letter of Charge | Confirms charges registered against the company's property. Same fee and turnaround |
| Consent requirement | All of the paid products require the written consent of a director — Labuan company records are not public |
