Malaysia Taxation

Study options for Malaysia taxation subjects

Members can now study an equivalent taxation subject at one of our partner institutions, Sunway TES or the Universiti Tun Abdul Razak, and receive recognition of their study within the CPA Program.

CPA Australia's existing partnerships with Sunway TES and the Universiti Tun Abdul Razak, who provide tuition for the CPA Program, ensures that our partners are expertly placed to deliver this local taxation solution for members in Malaysia.

The Malaysia Taxation subject content taught by our partners will undergo regular reviews to ensure it meets CPA Australia's rigorous standards for a postgraduate taxation unit.

When to choose Malaysia Taxation

If you have not met CPA Australia's tax competency requirement you are advised to study Australia Taxation to fulfill the education requirements for becoming a CPA. However, if you're based in Malaysia and plan to pursue a career in there, it may be more appropriate to complete your taxation studies locally. The Malaysia Taxation subject has been developed specifically for this purpose.
