Malaysia is offering 0% tax rate for family offices to set up shop in its struggling mega-project Forest City, as it looks to revive investor interest in the $100 billion development near its border with Singapore.

The government is also offering a concessionary corporate tax rate of between 0% and 5% and individual income tax rate of 15% for knowledge workers and Malaysians working there, Malaysia’s Second Finance Minister Amir Hamzah Azizan said in Johor state on Friday.
