Property Investment (dormant) Companies in Malaysia

A dormant company is a company or corporation that has not been active for a period of time. In Malaysia, a dormant company is a company that has not been carrying on any business or trade, has not been involved in any legal proceedings and has not been changing its members for a period of two years or more.

A dormant company may be reactivated by the shareholders at any time. The company must first notify the Registrar of Companies (ROC) of its intention to reactivate the company. The ROC will then issue a Certificate of Reactivation. The company must then carry on business within two years from the date of the certificate. If the company does not carry on business within two years, the company will be struck off the Register of Companies and will be dissolved.

A dormant company can be a useful tool for investors who want to invest in property. The company can be used to hold the property and the investor can then claim the tax benefits that are available to companies. The investor can also use the company to manage the property and to collect rent from the tenants.

However, there are some risks associated with investing in a dormant company. The company may be struck off the Register of Companies if it does not carry on business within
