The Cost Allocation Agreement serves as a crucial document for organizations operating multiple entities or shared service arrangements in Malaysia. It is particularly relevant when companies need to establish a formal, transparent, and compliant mechanism for sharing costs across different business units or related entities. The agreement ensures compliance with Malaysian corporate law, tax regulations, and transfer pricing requirements while providing a clear framework for cost distribution. This document is essential for groups implementing shared service centers, managing regional operations, or operating multiple subsidiaries where resources and costs need to be allocated efficiently and fairly. The agreement typically includes detailed methodologies for cost calculation, allocation keys, payment procedures, and governance mechanisms, all designed to meet Malaysian regulatory requirements and international best practices.
