✅Incentive Mechanism Overview :

The Guideline and Procedures for the Application of Incentive for Reinvestment was updated to provide clarity on the mechanism and requirements.

✅Validity of Incentive Approval

Companies must submit the following within 36 months from the date of the approval-in-principle letter :

1. Application for determination of incentive commencement date.
2. Declaration of compliance with minimum conditions, verified by external auditors.

Failure to submit within 36 months will result in automatic cancellation of the approval.

✅ Commencement Date of Incentive

Scenario 1: Capital expenditure is incurred after submission
Incentive begins from the first capital expenditure incurred.

Scenario 2: Capital expenditure is incurred before submission
That expenditure is not qualifying. Incentive begins one day after submission of the application.

Applicants should plan their capital expenditure carefully to fully enjoy the tax incentive.

✅ Post-Incentive Declaration

A declaration of compliance with all conditions, verified by external auditors, must be submitted to MIDA within seven months after the incentive period ends.
