## Is beneficial ownership filing included in the retainer?

Last updated: 14 October 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

No — the beneficial ownership declaration is its own line, from RM 324 per filing. It is lodged annually and again whenever your declared owners change. Layered structures cost more: foreign corporate shareholders, holding chains or trusts, where establishing the ultimate individuals takes real analysis. Your engagement letter states which side your structure falls on.
