The Malaysia Tax Engine
Cassandra's Malaysia tax engine reasons over Malaysian primary sources rather than a generic global model. Answers name the statute, the section, and the Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN) guidance relied on, so licensed tax agents, chartered accountants, advocates and solicitors can verify the reasoning before it reaches a client.
Where a regime is in transition — currently e-invoicing rollout and expanded service tax scope — Cassandra surfaces the transition and the competing treatments instead of silently choosing one. Cross-border questions combine this engine with the applicable double tax agreement, the OECD Model Tax Convention commentary, the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, and BEPS Pillar One and Pillar Two materials.
