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

CP204 Deferment 2022
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
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
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.

UN Sustainable Development Goals Part 1
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.
