Public Ruling No. 7/2022: Venture Capital Tax Incentives

Updated: Feb 23, 2023

On 23 December 2022, the IRB released PR No. 7/2022 on Venture Capital Tax Incentives, which replaces the previously issued PR No. 2/2016 from 9 May 2016.

The new 17-page PR contains the following contents and includes six examples:-

  1. Objective

  2. Related provisions of the law

  3. Interpretation

  4. Venture capital industry in Malaysia

  5. Regulatory framework for the venture capital industry

  6. Tax exemption incentive for a venture capital company (VCC) investing in a venture company (VC)

  7. Tax deduction incentive for an individual or a company investing in a VC or VCC

  8. Mutually exclusive

  9. Tax incentive for a venture capital management company (VCMC)

  10. Application for certification of investment for tax exemption and tax deduction in a VC and VCC

  11. Updates and amendments

  12. Disclaimer

The newly published PR No. 7/2022 is mainly similar to PR No. 2/2016. It provides an overview of the tax incentives offered to the venture capital industry in Malaysia.

It explains and provides examples of the new P.U. Orders gazetted in 2022, which involve the provision of early-stage financial capital to start-up VCs with high potential but also higher risk.


VCCs are companies established to raise funds in the form of equity or loan capital, which is then invested in the VC as seed capital, start-up, or early-stage financing.


VCMCs manage these investments on behalf of VCCs at different life cycle stages.


Relevant subsidiary laws referred to in this PR are as follows:


1. Income Tax (Exemption) (No. 2) Order 2022 [P.U.(A) 115/2022]


2. Income Tax (Exemption) (No. 3) Order 2022 [P.U.(A) 116/2022]

3. Income Tax (Deduction for Investment in a Venture Company or Venture Capital Company) Rules 2022 [P.U.(A) 117/2022]

Regulatory Framework for the Venture Capital Industry

The new PR also stipulates that SCM has been entrusted with assessing and certifying applications for tax incentives for the venture capital industry under the relevant Income Tax Rules and Income Tax (Exemption) Orders.


SCM has issued the following:

  • the Guidelines on the Registration of VC and Private Equity Corporations and Management Corporations (revised on 28 November 2022); and

  • the Venture Capital Tax Incentives Guidelines (revised on 28 November 2022),

which are available from the SCM’s website at www.sc.com.my.
