SalesCandy™ Receives Angel Tax Incentive Investee Company Accreditation

SalesCandy's Certification Letter for Angel Tax Incentive Investee Company

SalesCandy™ is very proud to announce that we are now an accredited Angel Tax Incentive Investee Company. 

Equity Crowdfunding is an eligible avenue of investment for the Angel Tax Incentive (ATI). Which means, if you are an Angel Investor who are accredited by the Malaysian Business Angel Network (MBAN), Angel Tax Incentive offers you tax exemption to reduce your investment risks when you invest in SalesCandy.

But fret not, you can still invest in SalesCandy even though you're not an Angel Investor, with amount as low as RM3,971.


Angel Tax Incentive is a government approved initiative that encourages startup investments by the private sector. It is administered by the Angel Tax Incentive Office (ATIO) - a unit under Cradle Fund Sdn Bhd which comes under the purview under the Ministry of Finance (MoF).

ATI aims to reduce the risks associated with startup investments by giving back in the form of tax exemption to the investors.

To take full advantage of the tax incentive, investors will need to be accredited by the MBAN.

MBAN represents the private sector and accredits angel investors; whilst ATIO represents the public sector and provides qualification to the startups and validate the investments into these companies.
