[Ex: Accounting bookkeeping and Administration support services]

Taking a trading company as an example, sales activities aimed at expanding sales channels, approach to large clients etc. should be the core business.

However, in order to maintain and operate the company, at least a back office department such as accounting and administration is allocated, and monthly accounting and administration department operations are required. Especially at the end of the month, the back office department is busy with input (typing) work, and there are many companies that work overtime until late at night.

Such back office work is essentially a non-core business for a trading company and is not directly linked to revenue.

◇ Traditional staffing
Non – Revenue department		Revenue department

◇ Relocation staffing by utilising external experts
Non – Revenue department	Revenue department

Therefore, if you shift your human resources to the core department as much as possible and concentrate on higher-value-added work (Work that lead to profit), you will be able to have a more ideal workforce.

Arrangement of surplus personnel by entrusting non-core departments to experts, trouble of input work, time required for input work, reduce wasted time costs, by concentrating management resources on core departments, you can optimise your business portfolio.

This concept is very important as a corporate staffing strategy.

* 1 Those who fall under the condition of 3 are considered “Malaysian citizens“. For foreigners who fall under this condition, those who hold MM2H visa, dependent visas, student visas, etc. are applicable, but because these are not working visas, these are not allowed to work in Malaysia [ *2]. As it is not possible to receive salary income (domestic source income) unless it is permitted to work, there is no possibility of submitting a tax report form (*3), of course it is obviously not necessary to submit a tax report form.

*2 Since Labuan’s work permit is a special visa to “work with Labuan company” in “Labuan Island”, work in Malaysia is “prohibited in principle”.

* 3 It is possible to receive shareholder dividends or Director Fee, but kindly check with tax experts in your tax country regarding tax payment.
