Horror Story in Accounting Firm

Is working in an accounting firm a stressful job?

Below is an uncensored horror story from our colleagues from our Peak 2022 :

• Client call me the status today when they book in yesterday.

• Client only give me 2 hours to out audit for 2 company.

• Audit is kind of figure plug in job, all the information and listing is provide by client, why audit firm still need to charge few thousand Ringgit?

• Financial consultancies is part of auditor and tax job, Firm should giving guidance and a confirm answer to client, not matter is SST, custom duty, register of foreign worker, or every accounting double entry.

• Client expect auditor to check every single transaction in the management account to act as an account reviewer.

• Client always expect the tax agent can estimate the nearest tax estimation for the year with sales amount for certain months only.

• Client asked me to out account to his sister-in-law’s house because he said he kept the computer at his sister-in-law’s house.

• Client request report but revised management account with wrong costing calculation.

• During my peak, there is one client told us to do field audit for 2 hours only when there is a lot of document need to be vouched.

• Client call me to ask about my qualification and how long I work in a company for.

• Client always want us to confirm the tax treatment of the company which not audited or tax done by us.

• When we arrive client’ company, account personnel ask we sit down and listen talk around 1 hour.

• Client keep calling and said urgent things to discuss but end up talk about personal issue.

• Client insist to have virtual meeting whole day to watch them for vouching every single document required instead of email us directly the softcopies.

• No aircond and poor air ventilation when field work at client’s place, they ask us not to stay so long and finish audit quickly but they have many document we need to vouch.

• When vouching document one cockroach coming out from the file.

• Taking client’s file out from a dusty box, saw a 5cm dead spider inside the box.

• One of the client ask status after few days book in, he thought small business nothing inside we can finish within 1 day, but their accountant always didn’t make any audit adjustment. I have to adjust opening balance before proceed. This year also have a lot of audit adjustment, I guess they also didn’t make the adjustment to their account, pity next year PIC.

• Client ask specimen of charge form more than one time but still haven’t provide us charge form yet.

• Client request to increase RM1 share capital.

• Client reply the queries very slow but at the same time rushing us when can complete.

• Client request ctc for company statutory form but client refuse to pay printing fee, so client print out the documents by themselves and deliver to us for CTC. But some of the documents already ctc by previous secretary. End up we need to print a new pages to CTC with new secretary.

• Client give 1000+ pages of hard copy general ledger, refuse to give soft copy and expect to received final audited report in 1 week time due to bank request.

• Client spend 3 months to answer audit query, at the end blame us that could not meet our promise which complete the job within 2 months.

• When we ask for supporting document from client, they replied “You don’t believe your own client ah? How you do business? I think we have a trust issue now!”

• 顾客的opening balance 不对就早早book in 给我们了。然后说已经很早就book in了为什么 audit还没好？然后把我们当成是Accountant. 询问audit queries but 一个月后才回我们。

• Client does not provided the correct Management account and hope us can done it fast. Some of the accountants do not make adjustments for the subsequent year as per they promised would make adjustments in the next financial year.

• The book in client need us ask the same things every year. Eg some client know we need the term loan statement to proceed the term loan working paper but every year need us to ask for the statement.

What is the tax treatment for income tax borne by the employer?

What is the tax treatment for income tax borne by the employer?
View Full Size

What is the tax treatment for income tax borne by the employer?

Perquisite

Perquisite, in relation to employment, means benefits in cash or in kind that are convertible into money received by an employee from the employer or third parties in respect of having or exercising the employment.

What does tax borne by employer mean?

Do employers pay income tax for employees?

No, employers do not pay income taxes for their employees. Employees are solely responsible for income tax payments, which employers must withhold.

What if? There is good employer who pays employee tax?

The agreement by the employer to pay the income tax of the employee does not relieve the employee from tax liability on the amount of income tax borne by the employer.

'Income Tax is borne by employer' is a form of income and is chargeable based on Section 13(1)(a) of the ITA 1967.

In short, tax borne by the employer is a taxable perquisite to the employee.

Key Amendments to the Employment Act 1955

Key Amendments to the Employment Act 1955
View Full Size

Key Amendments to the Employment Act 1955

Presumption of employment

The Bill provides that in the absence of a written contract and unless proven otherwise, there will be presumption of an employment relationship if the following factors are given:

  • his/her work or hours of work are subject to control by another person;

  • he/she is equipped with tools, material or equipment by another person to execute his work;

  • his/her work constitutes an integral part of another person's business;

  • his/her work is performed solely for the benefit of another person; or

  • payment is made to him/her for work done at regular intervals and it constitutes the majority of his/her income.

Calculation of wages for an incomplete month

The Bill provides a new section in the Act that introduces the below formula for calculating wages where an employee has not worked a full month:

Extension of maternity leave

Previously, the Act provided a 60 days maternity leave for all female employees, subject to the conditions of the Act. Now, when the Bill comes into force, eligible female employees will be entitled to 98 days of maternity leave.

Restriction on termination of pregnant employees

The Bill introduces a new section in the EA which prohibits an employer from terminating an employee who is pregnant or is suffering from an illness arising out of her pregnancy, except under specific circumstances such as willful breach of contract, misconduct or closure of the employer’s business. It is vital on employers to prove that the termination was not due to pregnancy.

Paternity Leave

Married male employees will now be entitled to 7 consecutive days of paternity leave up to 5 confinements.

Sexual harassment

The Bill introduces a new section which requires employers to conspicuously exhibit a notice to raise awareness of sexual harassment in the workplace. The sexual harassment provisions are still viewed as weak and limited. The Anti Sexual Harassment Bill 2021 would provide more guidelines upon being passed. It is currently in its first reading in Parliament.

Employment of foreign employees

Approval must be obtained from the Director-General of Labor to employ a foreign employee. Upon the employer satisfying the conditions listed in the Act, approvals are granted. Failure to obtain an approval is an offense, and on conviction, the employer shall be liable to a fine not exceeding RM 100,000 and/or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years.

Reduction on working hours

Previously, the Act provided 48 hours as regular working hours. With the Bill coming into force, the regular working hours will be reduced to 45 hours a week.

Flexible working arrangements

Employees can apply for flexible working arrangement, depending on the suitability of the working hours or work place. However, there is no legal obligation on the employer to grant this request. If the employer is to reject the request, they are required to provide grounds of refusal within 60 days of the application.

Discrimination

The Director General has the authority to investigate and decide disputes on discrimination in employment between employer and employee. Furthermore, the Director General has the power to make an order where necessary. However, this provision is vague and it does not define discrimination. Job seekers will not be able to rely on this provision as there is no employment relationship between an employer and job seekers, and as such this provision will not apply to protect job seekers from discrimination.

The Government of Malaysia, through Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation

The grant of MD Status entitles eligible companies to a set of incentives, rights and privileges from the Government of Malaysia.

MSC Malaysia

Since its introduction in 1996, MSC Malaysia has catalysed and transformed

Malaysia into a knowledge-based economy. The strategic initiative was created to foster a conducive ecosystem driven by high-end infrastructure development and ICT companies’ catchment within the identified corridors.

MSC Malaysia, driven by the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) as

Since 1996 Malaysia has attracted 2,794 active MSC-status companies.

CP204 Deferment 2022

CP204 Deferment 2022
View Full Size

CP204 Deferment 2022 is Over

The deferment is over. Taxpayers continue CP204 monthly tax payment before 15th every month with effect from July 2022.

KTP have emailed & whatsapped our clients on the tax instalment notification recently. Please check your email/whatsapp otherwise contact KTP on urgent basis.

Background

The Postponement of Estimated Tax Payable (CP204) and Instalment Payment Scheme (CP500) will be given automatically to qualified taxpayers with the status of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs or PMKS) from Jan 1 to June 30, 2022.

6 instalment deferment

The Inland Revenue Board (IRB) informed that qualified taxpayers are based on records or the latest Income Tax Statement Form received by the board.

CP 204 deferment

For CP204 payment, business criteria that qualify for the PMKS status are companies, cooperatives, trust bodies and limited liability partnerships with a paid-up capital of less than RM2.5 million for ordinary shares at the start of the basic period of an assessment year.

In addition, the entity’s gross business income of RM50 million or below for an assessment year.

The postponement of CP204 payment to the taxpayer who fulfils the criteria will be sent via registered email with HASiL (the IRB).

What if taxpayers don’t want the deferment?

Taxpayers want to maintain the current tax instalment scheme.

  • IRB is not required to be notified as qualified taxpayers are allowed to follow the original CP 204 or CP 500.

  • Any tax instalments paid during the deferment period will be treated as payments towards the tax instalments for those respective months and will not be allowed to be carried forward for settlement of tax instalments after the deferment period.

Tax estimation

No changes to existing eligibility to revise tax estimates in the 6th or the 9th month and the special 11th month revision (subject to existing conditions)

CP500 deferment

The IRB informed that the postponement of CP500 payment is allowed automatically to all taxpayers concerned for the 2021 assessment year payment (for the payable date of Jan 1, 2022) and the 2022 assessment year payment (for the payable dates of March 1, 2022 and May 1, 2022).

FAQ on deferment

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) on the postponement could be accessed via the link https://phl.hasil.gov.my/pdf/pdfam/SOALAN_LAZIM_PINDAAN_BAJET_2022_CP204.pdf and the public can contact the HASiL Recovery Call Centre (HRCC) at 03-8751 1000 for further information.

Intercompany Management Fee

Intercompany Management Fee
View Full Size

Common Tax Mistakes -Intragroup Services on Management Fee

Intragroup Services

Intragroup services are services provided by one or more members of a multinational group for the benefit of the other members within the group. In general, the types of services that members of a multinational group can provide to each other include, but are not limited to, management services, administrative services, technical and support services, purchasing, marketing and distribution services and other commercial services that typically can be provided with regard to the nature of the group's business.

The costs of such services, initially borne by the parent or other service companies within the multinational group, are eventually recovered from other associated persons through intragroup arrangements.

Non Chargeable Intragroup Services

Shareholder activities

Shareholder activity refers to an activity that one group member (usually the parent company) performs solely because of its responsibility as a shareholder due to its ownership interest in one or more members of the group.

Examples of non-chargeable shareholder activities include:

  • Costs pertaining to the juridical structure of the parent company such as meetings of shareholders of the parent company, issuing of shares in the parent company and costs of the supervisory board;

  • Costs relating to the reporting and legal requirements of the parent company such as producing consolidated accounts or other reports for shareholders, filing of prospectuses; and

  • Costs of raising funds for the acquisition of new companies to be held by the parent company (distinct from fund raising on behalf of its existing subsidiaries).

Duplicative services

Duplicative services are services performed by a group member that merely duplicates a service that another group member is already performing in-house, or that is being performed by a third party.

In such instances, any duplicative claim will be automatically disallowed. The ability of a group member to independently perform the service (for instance in terms of qualification, expertise and availability of personnel) shall be taken into account when evaluating the duplication of services performed.

Example 1

A subsidiary has qualified personnel to analyse its capital and operational budget. This analysis is then reviewed by the parent company's financial personnel. The review by the parent company is considered duplicative.

However, there are exceptions in which duplication of services can be charged such as:

  • Special circumstances where duplication is only temporary. For example in implementing a new system, a company may simultaneously continue to operate an existing system for a short period, in order to deal with any unforeseen circumstances that may arise during the initial implementation; or

  • To reduce the risk of a wrong business decision such as by getting a second legal opinion on a particular project

Services that provide incidental/passive association benefits

This refers to services performed by one member of a multinational group, such as a shareholder or coordinating centre, which relates only to specific group members but incidentally provides a benefit to other members of the group.

Incidental benefit may also arise as a consequence of an associated person being part of a larger concern and not because of a service that has actually been provided. Such incidental benefits would not warrant a charge to the incidental recipient because the perceived benefit is so indirect, and remote, that an independent person would not be willing to pay for the activities giving rise to the benefit and therefore should not be considered as intragroup service to the incidental recipient.

Example 2

An enterprise that had obtained a higher credit rating due to it being a member of a multinational group should not be charged for its mere association with the group. However, if the higher credit rating is due to a guarantee provided by another group member, then an intragroup service can be considered to have been rendered

On-call services

An on-call service is where a parent company or a group service centre is on-hand to provide services such as financial, managerial, technical, legal or tax advice to members of the group at any time.

This service is considered non-chargeable under the following circumstances:

  • Service is easily and promptly available even without any standby arrangement;

  • The potential need for such service is remote;

  • Where there is no/negligible benefits derived from the service.

If there are exceptional circumstances which require on- call services to be considered as chargeable services, it must be proven that an independent person in comparable circumstances would incur such charges to ensure availability of the services when the need for them arises

director duties company law

director duties company law
View Full Size

Can a director be sued in Malaysia?

Corporate Veil

When a company is incorporated, it is deemed to be a separate legal entity that is distinct and separate from its members such that a 'corporate veil' is said to be drawn to separate the company and its members or directors.

In other words, the company’s rights and liabilities are their own and not that of the individual business owner. This principle has long been established in the English case of Salomon v Salomon & Co Ltd and has been adopted within the Malaysian jurisdiction as well.

Duties of Director under Common Law

The directors are effectively the agents of the company, appointed by the shareholders to manage its day-to-day affairs.

As a director of the company, you own

  • Duty to act bona fide in the interest of the company.

  • Duty to use power for a proper purpose.

  • Duty not to fetter discretions.

  • Duty to avoid actual and potential conflict of interest.

  • Duty to ensure the integrity of financial information.

Remedy Action under Company Act 2016

Section 346 of the Companies Act 2016 provides the courts with wide powers to grant remedies as they deem necessary to bring an end to the matters complained of in an oppression action.

Any member of a company may apply to the Court for an order :

(a) The affairs of the company are being conducted or the power of the director are being exercise in oppressive manner.

(b) Some act of the company has been passed which unfairly discriminate.

RDS Bina Sdn Bhd v Ong Chin Hoe & Anor

The Plaintiff filed a claim against the directors of a company in order to enforce payment due under a settlement agreement entered with the company that subsequently ceased operations and dissolved. The Plaintiff presented evidence of fraudulent acts by the directors to deregister their company to evade paying the monies owed to the Plaintiff. The Court allowed the Plaintiff to lift the corporate veil and found the directors to be personally liable for the debts owing to the Plaintiff.

Keller (M) Sdn Bhd v Ong Leong Chiou & Ors

The Plaintiff roped in several parties including a director of a company for the amount due to them as the appointed sub-contractor for work done in the construction of a shopping mall project. Upon close examination of the relationship between the parties, it was discovered that the 1st Defendant (Director) had orchestrated a complex plan to hide under the corporate veil in order to escape liability.

The 1st Defendant used a company (2nd Defendant) under his control and command to shield another company (3rd Defendant) from liability for fraud engineered by him.

Shortly after the project was completed, the 1st Defendant and other directors from the 2nd Defendant resigned and transferred their shares to other parties. In furtherance of the fraud, the 1st Defendant had also actively concealed vital information from the Plaintiff. These actions allowed the Court to pierce the corporate veil and have the Defendants jointly liable to pay the Plaintiff.

Final Word

In conclusion, the law generally provides a safe haven for directors through the separation of entity principle.

However, directors should not abuse their position by taking advantage of it as the new Company Act 2016 provide remedy actions for shareholders.

unabsorbed business loss carried forward 10 years

unabsorbed business loss carried forward 10 years
View Full Size

How many years can unabsorbed business losses can be carried forward?

Public Ruling 1/2022 - Time limit on unabsorbed adjusted business losses carry forward

IRB has produced the first public ruling of 2022 !

The objective of this Public Ruling (PR) is to provide an explanation on the time limit for unutilised or unabsorbed adjusted business losses arising from a business of a person to be carried forward.

Background

Effective year of assessment 2019, unabsorbed adjusted business losses carried forward for a period of 7 consecutive years of assessment.

But…subsequently.

The time limit for unabsorbed adjusted business losses carried forward arising from a relevant year of assessment change from a 7 consecutive years of assessment to 10 consecutive years of assessment through the Finance Act 2021 [Act 833] effective year of assessment 2019.

Tax Implication

Any balance of unabsorbed adjusted business losses after the

end of the period of 10 consecutive years of assessment is to be disregarded (ie lost).

T & C on Dormant Companies Solely

There has been no substantial change in the company’s shareholding.

By shareholding, Compare the last day of last YA and the first day of next YA on shareholding.

  • More than 50% of the paid-up capital.

  • More than 50% of the nominal value of the allotted shares.

Sections 44(5A) to (5D) – shareholder continuity rules

In a nutshell, where the shareholding of a company was changed substantially during a basis period, any unabsorbed loss and capital allowance brought forward were disregarded – ie were effectively lost forever.

These provisions have been somewhat suspended or deferred as it has been confirmed by the tax authorities that these rules are only applicable in the case of a substantial change of shareholding in dormant companies.
