Demystifying Capital Allowances – Malaysia's Tax Efficiency Engine Capital Allowances (CAs) are tax deductions that let businesses get back the costs of qualifying capital assets. This is different from accounting depreciation, which isn't tax-deductible. For Malaysian businesses, this is a strategic tool to:
✅ Speed up cash flow by lowering the amount of tax you owe this year
✅ Save up to 24% on each asset to reinvest in the fund
✅ Pay for the costs of modernization for automation, green tech, or expansion

The corporation has to pay for automation machinery and equipment, which includes machinery, equipment, software, and systems that are up to date with Industry 4.0.
The eligible amount of Automation CA is RM10 million.
The corporation must spend money on at least one piece of machinery, equipment, software, or system that is compatible with Industry 4.0 and costs at least RM10 million.
