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

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.

  • 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.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

Why is it important to talk about sustainability?

The fundamental fact underlying the whole topic is this: over the last century the population of the Earth increased from 1.5 to 7 billion people. Thus, building an inclusive, sustainable and resilient future for all people and our planet has become a big challenge for humanity.

What is sustainability?

It is defined as “Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

UN SDG 17

The UN SDGs set out a path to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and protect the planet. Achieving the goals will require an unprecedented effort by all sectors in society, including businesses.

SDG 1 : No Poverty

SDG 1 is to: ''End poverty in all its forms everywhere''. Achieving SDG 1 would end extreme poverty globally by 2030. The goal has seven targets and 13 indicators to measure progress.

 

SDG 2 : Zero Hunger

Goal 2 seeks sustainable solutions to end hunger in all its forms by 2030 and to achieve food security. The aim is to ensure that everyone everywhere has enough good-quality food to lead a healthy life. Achieving this Goal will require better access to food and the widespread promotion of sustainable agriculture

 

SDG 3 : Good Health and Well Being

SDG 3 aims to prevent needless suffering from preventable diseases and premature death by focusing on key targets that boost the health of a country's overall population. Regions with the highest burden of disease and neglected population groups and regions are priority areas.

 

SDG 4 : Quality Education

Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.


SDG 5 : Gender Equation

Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.

SDG 6 : Clean Water & Sanitation

Ensure access to water and sanitation for all. While substantial progress has been made in increasing access to clean drinking water and sanitation, billions of people—mostly in rural areas—still lack these basic services.

EPF return to 11%

EPF return to 11%
View Full Size

EPF back to 11%

Background

With effective 1st January 2021 after the Budget 2021, employees have the option to reduce their EPF statutory contribution rate from 11% to 9%. This rate for employees will be in effect from January 2021 wages (February 2021 contribution) up to June 2022 (July 2022 Contribution) wages.

Why 9%

“The government understands the challenges faced by the people due to prolonged lockdowns and to increase cash in hand, EPF will extend the minimum contribution rate from 11% to 9% until June 2022.'' says Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz.

Borang KWSP 17A for 11% contribution

The reduced rate is default for all employees under 60 years old.

Should an employee choose to remain at 11% contribution rate, they'll need to fill up Borang KWSP 17A (Khas 2022) which will then be submitted to EPF by their respective employer. For those aged 60 and above, the statutory contribution remains at the existing rate.

Upon receiving the completed Borang KWSP 17A (Khas 2022) form from the employees, employers will need to register the application via the i-Akaun (Employer) and keep the completed Borang KWSP 17A (Khas 2022) form as a record.

Back to EPF 11%

The minimum statutory EPF contribution rate for employees returns to 11% from July 2022 wages onwards (August 2022 contribution)

MPERS vs MFRS : Government Grants

In this article, we share the main differences in the accounting requirements for associates under MFRS 120 and Section 24 of MPERS.

Government Grants

Government grants are assistance by the government in the form of transfers of resources to an entity in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the entity.

They exclude those forms of government assistance which cannot reasonably have a value placed upon them and transactions with the government which cannot be distinguished from the normal trading transactions of the entity.

Section 24 of MPERS - Government Grants

Use income approach as all government grants are income transactions.

If there is no specified future performance condition imposed, the grant is recognized upon receivable.

If there is a specified future performance condition imposed, the grant is recognized when the condition is met.

Government grants are measured at the fair value of the assets received or receivable.

MFRS 120 Government Grants

Use income approach as all government grants.

Conditions :

1. The entity will comply with the conditions imposed.

2. The grants will be received.

Recognise grants in P/L on a systematic basis over periods in which the entity recognise the related costs.

Accounting for intangible assets

Accounting for intangible assets
View Full Size

MPERS vs MFRS : Intangible Assets

In this article, we share the main differences in the accounting requirements for associates under MFRS 138 and Section 18 of MPERS.

Intangible Assets

An item meets the definition of intangible asset if it poses the three criteria:

  • Identifiability.

  • Control over resources.

  • Existence of future economic benefits (or service potential).

An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance. Such an asset is identifiable when it is separable, or when it arises from contractual or other legal rights. Separable assets can be sold, transferred, licensed, etc.

Examples of intangible assets include computer software, licences, trademarks, patents, films, copyrights and import quotas.

Section 18 of MPERS - Intangible Assets

Research and development expenditures should be recognized as expenses.

All internally generated intellectual property should be recognized as an expense.

MFRS 138 - Intangible Assets

Development expenditure of R&D activities that meet the recognition criteria must be capitalize.

All research and other development expenditure are recognized as an expense.

Internally generated intellectual property should not be recognized as an asset.

An entity is to recognise an intangible asset only if the two criteria are met:

1. It is probable that the expected future economic benefits (or service potential) will flow to the entity; and

2. It can measure the cost or fair value of the asset reliably.

MFRS 138 allow an entity to capitalise expenditure from the development phase if it can demonstrate all of the following conditions:

  • The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

  • Its intention to complete the asset and use or sell it.

  • Its ability to use or sell the intangible asset.

  • How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits or service potential.

  • The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.

  • Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

MFRS 138 provide an accounting policy choice to subsequently measure an intangible asset either using the cost model or the revaluation model.

MFRS 138 states that intangible assets may have a finite or indefinite useful life. This requires an entity to assess and determine useful life. An intangible asset with indefinite useful life is not amortised but must be tested for impairment annually.
