Current Position
Automation Capital Allowance (A-CA) is a tax incentive introduced in Budget 2015 to encourage manufacturers to engage in innovative and productive activities, expedite the adoption of automation, especially for labour-intensive industries, and further spur automation initiatives.
The incentive is split into 2 categories of industries i.e.
High Labour-intensive Industries (Rubber products, plastics, wood, furniture and textiles); and
Other Industries
It was proposed in Budget 2020 that the existing Automation Capital Allowance (ACA) incentive for Category 2 of the manufacturing sector be expanded to the services sector to boost productivity and efficiency in labour-intensive industries.
Manufacturing and services companies which incur qualifying capital expenditure on automation equipment are given tax incentives as follows:
Category 1: Labour-Intensive Industry (rubber, plastic, wood and textile products)
ACA of 100% for automation equipment on the first RM4 million for Qualifying Capital Expenditure incurred and can be utilised within 1 year.
Category 2: Industries other than Category1 including the services sector
ACA of 100% for automation equipment on the first RM2 million for qualifying capital expenditure incurred and can be utilised within 1 year.
Both categories are eligible for income tax exemption equivalent to 100% of qualifying capital expenditure incurred for automation equipment. Thus, eligible capital expenditure that can be absorbed is 200%within a year.
The tax incentive is for applications received by the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) until 31 December 2023.
