Description of Malaysia
Foreign investors have been showing increasingly strong interest in Malaysia over recent years – most notably from neighbouring countries like the Philippines, Thailand and Singapore. Malaysia’s overall economy has been heading in the right direction for several years and the development of so many world-class tourist resorts has only increased the already gigantic contingency of travellers the country attracts every year. What’s more, Malaysia is also fast becoming a firm-favourite for retirees from tall over the world.
Average property prices and rent yields alike performed extremely well in 2013 and the general picture over the last 15 years has been one of excellent stability. So while income tax may be relatively high for international investors – 26 per cent as standard – the rewards can be much greater if the right moves are made.
