incorporation costs depend on whether you choose a limited or unlimited company and are affected by the Business Registration Certificate (BR fee) and government registration fees. The latest BR fee for 2026 is $2,350, and the minimum cost to incorporate a limited company is $3,895 (electronic registration + business registration fee). Companies also need to consider other expenses such as company seals ($200-$800), bank account opening fees, virtual offices ($1,500-$3,000), and CPA certification ($500-$1,000).<\/p><p>Annual maintenance fees for limited companies include company secretarial services ($1,000-$2,500), Annual Return NAR1 ($105), Significant Controllers Register representative ($1,000-$2,000), tax filing fees (depending on business scale), employer&#8217;s tax return ($500-$2,000), and profits tax (8.25%-16.5%).<\/p><p>Additionally, companies must pay provisional tax, which affects annual cash flow; entrepreneurs should plan their working capital accordingly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-545c8c2 elementor-align-left elementor-mobile-align-justify elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"545c8c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/85268183861?text=Hi,%20General%20Accounting.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Enquire now<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-830ae4d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"830ae4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGeneral Accounting has been established for over 20 years, providing <strong>limited and unlimited company incorporation services<\/strong>.
