View Full Size

What is Use of Right Assets in Accounting?

Background

MFRS 117 introduces the treatment of both finance lease and operating lease, but operating lease is treated as an off-balance sheet lease.

MFRS 16 superseded MFRS 117 and introduced the “right to use” approach, which requires lessee to recognize the rights and obligations arising from the lease arrangement in the balance sheet with the effect from 01.01.2019 in order to standardize the treatment for both finance and operating lease.

Definition of Right-of-Use Asset -  MFRS 16

  • Lessee has the rights to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time. [Para 9]

  • Lessee able to obtain all of the economic benefits generated from the use of assets. [Para 9]

  • Lessee has the obligation to make payment for the identified asset [Para 9]

  • Risk and reward of the ownership for the asset is still mainly retained with the lessor. [Para 65]

  • Prepayment of lease payment – lease incentives

  • Initial direct costs

  • Dismantling costs

(ii) Lease liability [Para 26]:

  • Present value of lease payments

Subsequent measurement:

Common Mistakes in Reinvestment Allowance

Common Mistakes in Reinvestment Allowance
View Full Size

Common Mistakes in Reinvestment Allowance

Reinvestment Allowance is a red flag to IRBM so Reinvestment Allowance is always scrutinized by our IRBM during tax audit/investigation.

What is reinvestment allowance?

Reinvestment allowance (RA), as the name suggests, is an incentive to encourage companies to reinvest and expand their businesses. It is only granted after the company has been in business for a certain period of time, and only to companies resident in Malaysia.

How good is reinvestment allowance?

The allowance is given for 15 years from the first year of claim. The allowance is computed at 60% of QCE incurred and can be utilised against 70% of statutory income

Latest development in reinvestment allowance

Budget 2021 has announced that a special Reinvestment Allowance (RA) will be given for eligible manufacturing and agricultural projects in Years of assessment (YA) 2020 to YA 2022.

This means that eligible companies that have fully utilized their 15-years RA can enjoy additional RA claims for 3 years (YA2020 to YA2022).

Common mistakes in claiming reinvestment allowance

  • The purchase invoice is the only supporting document available. The absence of a project paper, feasibility study, business plans, budgets, directors resolutions, and other relevant documents supporting the project;

  • Mismatch between the company incurring the investments and the company using the plant and machinery;

  • Claim RA on assets incurred for the benefits of related companies/directors.

  • Claim RA on non-qualifying activities.

  • Claim RA on the transfer of assets from related parties who have previously claimed RA on the same assets.

  • The absence of payment records to support the qualified assets.

  • Supporting documents are not kept for at least 7 years.

  • Clain RA concurrently with other tax incentives (like PS, ITA & etc).

  • No written/ pictorial production flow on the qualifying project
