Labuan FSA expects its market players licensed under the Labuan Financial Services and Securities Act 2010 to comply with all requirements and regulations governing the financial centre, including those which are prescribed and enforced by the IRB as the competent authority on tax-related matters in Labuan IBFC. In this regard, Labuan FSA will continue to provide its assistance to the IRB, including sharing relevant information on Labuan financial institutions with the tax authority under the exchange of information framework.Labuan Financial Services Authority (Labuan FSA)
