Why do auditors audit related party transactions?

Why do auditors audit related party transactions?
View Full Size

Why do auditors audit related party transactions?

Theoretically, related party transactions carry no higher risk to the financial statement if compared to those unrelated.

But why the auditor is so concerned about related party transactions?

This is because the nature of related party transactions may present a greater opportunity for collusion, concealment, or manipulation by management, resulting in a false result in the financial statements.

Responsibilities of auditor

The auditor shall: -

1. Identify and assess the Risks

2. Responses to the Risks

3. Evaluate the accounting treatment and disclosure

To conclude whether the related party transactions achieve fair presentation and are not misleading

Here are some examples of what auditor may need to inspect, which entity can generate internally: -

1. Minutes of meetings

2. Statements of conflicts of interest

3. Contracts and agreements

4. Invoices and correspondence from the entity’s professional advisors

5. Reports of the internal audit function

What is the royalty based method of intangible assets valuation?

What is the royalty based method of intangible assets valuation?
View Full Size

What is the royalty based method of intangible assets valuation?

The relief from royalty (RFR) approach is based on the idea that the fair value of an intangible asset equals the present value of the cost savings realized by the owner of the asset that results from not having to pay royalties for the use of the intangible asset to another party.

Relief from royalty method under income approach on trade names, brands and technology assets.

There is various legislation governing IP rights available in Malaysia from the Patents Act, Industrial Design Act, Trade Mark Act & Copyright Act

In short, the RFR is based on the measurement of the license payments, from a market database, which has been saved as a consequence of having ownership of the assets.

Six steps on relief from royalty methods

Step 1: Set the preliminary


1.1 Purpose of valuation
1.2 Standard or basis of value (market vs investment vs liquidation value)
1.3 Premise of value

Step 2: Understand the subject intangible assets

Step 3: Estimate economic benefits (revenue projection)

Step 4: Estimate hypothetical royalty rate

4.1 25% on gross margin, profit margin, EBIT, OPM, EBITDA

The “25 percent rule” is a general rule of thumb that suggests, as a starting point in a negotiation, that a licensee would pay 25 percent of its expected profits as a royalty for products that incorporate the licensed intellectual property (IP)


4.2 Industry royalty rate: RoyaltySource

RoyaltySource has been tracking intellectual property news and licenses related to technology (patent, know-how, trade secret, and business method), software, trademark, trade name, brand or logo, copyright and right of publicity for 30 years..

https://www.royaltysource.com


4.3 Company disclosures: Audited financial statement, paid subscription (Bloomberg, S&P Capital IQ), Free (Yahoo Finance, Bursa, Malaysiastock.biz)

4.4 Transactional approach

Step 5: Estimate discount rate


5.1 Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
5.2 Cost of equity = R (risk free) + beta {R(market)-R(risk free)}

Step 6 : Calculation (to be continued)

Can a company loan to its director?

Can a company loan to its director?
View Full Size

Can a company loan to its director?

With the entire globe weathering COVID-19, directors may encounter hardship in obtaining a personal loan from the approved financial institution. The option to get a loan from a financial institution is always available in the market; however, the requirement and fulfilment to obtain the loan is getting difficult compared to the old times. Is there any alternative option available for directors? Can directors take a loan from the company?

General ruling on loan to directors

A company’s constitution may give the power to its board of directors to lend money; however, Section 224(1) of Companies Act (CA) 2016 generally prohibits a company from:

a) giving loans; or

b) securities for loans

to its directors and related companies as defined under Section 7 of CA2016.

Exceptions

However, there are circumstances that allow for a company to give loans or provide any security for loans to directors as accordance with Section 224 (2) with the below criteria:

1. foreign company;

2. exempt private company;

3. loan to the director whereby enable him to meet the expenses incurred for the purposes of the company or to ease him to perform his duties as an officer;

4. provide funds to the director (full-time employment with the company or its holding company) to meet his expenditure incurred in purchasing a house; and

5. loan to the director (full-time employment with the company or its holding company) by passing a resolution to approve the loan schemes by the members at the general meeting.

Section 224(3) of CA 2016 clearly stated that a company shall not authorise the making of any loan or securities for loans to the director unless obtained prior approval from the company on the resolution to disclose the purpose and the amount of the loan.

Last minutes remedy

What if the company authorised the loan without prior approval on the resolution? Any other remedies for this?

Yes, the company may authorise the making of loans or securities for loans to the director:

1. at or before the next following Annual General Meeting for a public company;

or

2. within six months from the making of the loan or securities for the loan to the director for a private company.

Contravention

What are the consequences of contravention of this section?

The company shall recover the loan and discharge the securities given in contravenes with this section.

Reference is made to a legal case Harta Empat Sdn Bhd v Koperasi Rakyat Bhd [1997] where the Court of Appeal decision that security created pursuant to a loan that contradicts with this Section was deemed invalid.

Referring to the Section 224(6), the directors will be jointly and severally liable to indemnify against any loss incurred. Upon conviction, a penalty will be imposed and be subject to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years or a fine not exceeding RM3million or both according to Section 224(10) of CA2016.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it is clear that Section 224 of the Companies Act 2016 prohibits loans or providing securities to its directors unless there is a resolution approving such loan passed by its members. This section protects the company, its shareholder, and creditors as a precaution against any unlawful dilution of the company’s assets to the hands of directors or their related parties.

Withholding Tax on Payments to Agents

Withholding Tax on Payments to Agents
View Full Size

Withholding Tax on Payments to Agents

With effect from Jan. 1, 2022, a 2% withholding tax (WHT) will be imposed on monetary payments made by companies to their authorized agents, dealers or distributors, arising from sales, transactions or schemes carried out by the Agents.

A new Section 107D of the Income Tax Act 1967 (ITA) was introduced under the Finance Bill 2021 following the Budget 2022 announcement on 29 October 2021.

The WHT is applicable on in-scope payments made to resident agents, dealers or distributors who are individual residents and who have received more than RM100,000 of such payments in monetary form and/or non-monetary form from the same company in the immediately preceding year of assessment (YA)

The tax withheld is to be remitted to the lRBM within 30 days from date of payment or crediting the payment to the agent, dealer or distributor.

Companies which fail to comply with this requirement will be subject to an increase in tax equivalent to 10% of the outstanding WHT and the underlying gross expenses which are subject to the WHT would be denied a tax deduction

Deferment of remittance of withholding tax

To ensure that all companies which are liable to make payment are able to make appropriate preparations and notifications to their agents, dealers and distributors, that payer companies are allowed to defer the ''remittance'' of the WHT until 31 March 2022 where payer companies are allowed to remit the WHT related to payments for the months of January until March 2022 from 1 April 2022 without being subject to any increase in tax.

Key salient points from the IRBM FAQ:-

• The WHT is not applicable on payment by way of credit note, contra-transaction and discount given to an agent, dealer or distributor.

• The payer company is required to apply the WHT even though the agent, dealer or distributor is subject to CP500 tax instalment payment.

• The category of individual includes sole proprietor and individual partner in a partnership. However, it excludes payment made to a partnership or a Limited Liability Partnership.

• The threshold amount of RM100,000 in the preceding year is to be determined each year. In determining the applicability of section 107D, the residency status of the agents, dealer or distributor in the immediate preceding year is irrelevant

• The preceding year RM100,000 threshold value is to be tested each year (not on a one-off basis) in order to determine whether withholding tax will apply for payment made in the current year.

• The agent, dealer or distributor must have an income tax reference number.

• The 2% WHT amount is to be reported in Form CP58.

• The 2% WHT will be considered as part of the payment for the balance of tax to be paid, upon submission of the income tax return form for the relevant YA by the agent, dealer or distributor.

• The WHT shall be remitted to the IRBM within 30 days after paying or crediting such payments to the agent, dealer or distributor. Remittance is to be made together with Form CP107D.

• If there is a failure to make the WHT payment to the IRBM within the stipulated time, a penalty of 10% would be imposed on the unpaid withholding tax. In addition, the tax deduction for the gross amount of the payment made to agent, dealer or distributor will be disallowed.

• Where a company is making payments to several agents, the company may complete the details of payment for each agents in the appendix [Lampiran CP107D(1)], which is to be attached together with the WHT remittance form [CP107D]. Each appendix could cater up to 20 recipients.

• The amended Form CP58 will include section to report the WHT deducted.

• The WHT remittance form and appendix as well as the updated Form CP58 have yet been released by the IRBM.

• The WHT can be made at the IRBM Service/Payment Counters.

IRBM has issued a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) dated 28 February 2022 (only available in Bahasa Malaysia) on the application of the above Section 107D.

Auditor Report on Stocktake Attendance

Question

If KTP is appointed after the FYE 31.12.2021, should we qualify the auditor report if the stock is material? if not, what should KTP do?

Opinion :

If the inventory is material to the financial statements, the auditor shall obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence by either:-

• Attend the physical inventory counting and do the reconciliation of inventory with roll backward procedure; or

• Evaluate the management internal inventory report and perform relevant audit procedures on the report obtained to determine whether it accurately reflect actual inventory count results.

If the results are fairly stated, no qualified opinion shall be issued in the auditor’s report for inventory.

However, if the auditor is unable to perform any physical inventory counting or alternative audit procedures to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the existence and condition of inventory, the auditor shall modify the opinion in the auditor’s report if the inventory is material but not pervasive.

Maximizing Tax Benefits on Capital Expenditure

Maximizing Tax Benefits on Capital Expenditure
View Full Size

Maximizing Tax Benefits on Capital Expenditure

Company may maximize their tax benefits on the capital expenditure. Below are actions, you may take in order to help you with tax saving.

No worries, we explain to you how to maximize your tax benefits by using some real-life cases.

Capital Allowance

Generally, capital allowance is eligible for plant and machinery, or tools and equipment for business.

What are tools and equipment?

Some examples of the case law to enhance our understanding.

KPHDN v Tropiland Sdn Bhd (2012) (Court of Appeal)

• The argument here is whether the 7-storey car park is a tool and equipment to the business?

• The taxpayer is a property developer and constructed a multi-story car park before letting it out. They claim a capital allowance for the car park.

• The taxpayer’s income was derived from the rental of the car park. Without the multi-story car park, the taxpayer could not have generated an income from the land.

Hence, they can claim the capital allowance for the car park.

Industrial Building Allowance(IBA)

If you own or rent a factory for your business, you may claim the qualifying expenditures under Industrial Building Allowance (IBA).

Reinvestment Allowance(RA)

The definition given by MIDA, RA is available for existing companies engaged in manufacturing and selected agricultural activities that reinvest for expansion, automation, modernization, or diversification into any related products within the same industry on condition.

Lavender Confectionery & Bakery Sdn Bhd V KPHDN

Lavender is a manufacturer, distributor and dealer in cakes, confectionery, bread and biscuits.

In YA 2011, the company claimed Industrial Building Allowance (IBA) for the additional demolition of substructures and renovation and Reinvestment Allowance (RA) for plant and machinery for JB factory and KL Outlet.

However, it had been rejected due to one of the demolition cost before constructing the buildings which did not form part of the Lavender’s factory. Company is also disallowed to claim under RA due to the items are not used in the factory.

For IBA claim of the Company, the decision of the Court is the Company can claim for the IBA since they fulfilled the IBA claim requirement of building used for purpose of business and used as a factory.

The Company can claim for RA as they fulfilled the RA claim requirement as

• The Company must be a resident of Malaysia

• An operation for more than 36 months

• Incurred capital expenditures are for the expansion of their business.

As their outlet in KL continues the manufacturing process of bread and confectionaries in the principal factory at Plentong.

The capital expenditures incurred for plant and machinery that leads to the expansion of Company’ business is entitled to RA.

What does KTP say?

From the story above, we can understand that the determining factor between Capital allowance and Industrial building allowance is whether it is a “tool” to generate income or it is a ''building'' that is used as industrial business purposes.

Qualified expenditure can be the assets themselves and also the incidental cost incurred on the assets. To maximize your claim, we can always go back to the ruling or act to look at the definition.

Update on Earning Stripping Rule (ESR)

The Income Tax (Restriction on Deductibility of Interest) (Amendment) Rules 2022 (“Amendment Rules”) has been gazetted to amend the Income Tax (Restriction on Deductibility of Interest) Rules 2019.

The following two Principal Rules is amended in amendment rules:

1. Definition of qualifying deduction

2. Carrying forward of excess interest

The amendment rules came into operation on 1 February 2022.

Key takeaways:

You will understand: -

1. What is ESR?

2. Scope of application

3. New amendment on Principal Rules

4. Non-application

Summary of learnings:

1. What is ESR?

Effective from 01 July 2019, ESR was introduced under Section 140C of the Income Tax Act 1967 (ITA) to restrict the tax deduction on interest expenses in relation to financial assistance in a controlled transaction.

Under the ESR, the maximum amount of interest that can be deducted is 20% of the tax – EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization).

*Tax – EBITDA = Adjusted Business Income + Qualifying deduction+ Total Interest Expenses claimed in business Income.

2. Scope of application

ESR apply to interest expenses that arise from financial assistance granted by:

- its associated person outside Malaysia;

- its associated person outside Malaysia which operates through a permanent establishment in Malaysia;

- a third party outside Malaysia where the financial assistance is guaranteed by its holding company or any other enterprises under the same MNE Group

Financial assistance includes loans, interest-bearing trade credit, advance, debt, or the provision of security or guarantee.

3. New amendment on Principal Rules

The amendments are as outlined below:

i. Definition of qualifying deduction

Qualifying deduction is equal to the total incentive claims (special deduction, further deduction, double deduction, etc.) deducted in arriving at adjusted income. The definition is replaced as follows:

- where there is business expenditure incurred in the profit and loss account is allowed as deduction under the Act and the amount of the deduction allowed exceeds the amount of the business expenditure incurred, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of the deduction allowed and the amount of the business expenditure incurred in the profit and loss account; or

- where there is no business expenditure incurred in the profit and loss account, the amount of deduction is allowable under the Act.

ii. Carry forward rules

- The carry forward rules allow the restricted interest expenses in a year of assessment (YA) to be carried forward and to be deducted against the company’s adjusted income for the subsequent YAs.

- This rule now applies to any person and is not limited to a company.

4. Non-application

According to the De minimis threshold, ESR is not applicable where the total interest expenses for all financial assistance is equal to or less than RM500,000 in a YA.
