LHDN Can Now Access Taxpayers' Bank Accounts Without Informing Or Seeking Permission

Dewan Rakyat has passed the Finance Bill 2021 on 15 December 2021 and one of the amendments, Section 106A of the Income Tax Act 1967.

Section 106A ITA 1967

New S106A ITA 1967 fall under Part VII Collection and Recovery of Tax

LHDN will also no longer have to inform taxpayers when requesting their bank account details from banks for review or investigation.

The banks are not allowed to disclose to anyone that such a request has been made.

The taxpayer was, in the past, required to sign a consent form before banks were allowed to furnish relevant information to LHDN.

What happens if you fail to pay taxes?

LHDN can execute the judgment against you. One of the normal methods used by LHDN is garnishee order.

What is Garnishee Proceeding?

A garnishee proceeding is a process of enforcing a money judgment by the seizure or attachment of debts due to the judgment debtor that forms part of his property available in execution.

In short, a civil proceeding is instituted against a taxpayer. A judgment has been obtained against that taxpayer for LHDN to obtain taxpayer’s bank account information from the financial institutions.

Final words

If you don’t owe any tax due, are you worry?

Can you be a director if declared bankrupt?

Latest SSM action on qualification of a director

SSM published a media statement on 09 December 2021 to caution all the companies directors on the importance of a person qualification to act as the company director.

The media statement specified about a former company director with bankrupt status was convicted of 2 offences under Section 125(1) of CA, 1965 to act as a company director without obtaining permission from the court.

Background story

Mr Hung Lye Huat, former company director of Global Agriculture Sdn Bhd with bankrupt status was found to have signed Form 48A (Statutory Declaration before appointment as director) dated 24.01.2017 and Form 32A (share transfer form) dated 26.01.2017 whereas he was an undischarged bankrupt and had never obtained court permission to act as a director during that period.

Contravention of Company Act

According to Section 125(1) of CA, 1965, every person who is an undischarged bankrupt act as director of, or directly or indirectly takes part in or is concerned in the management of, any corporation except with the leave of the Court shall be guilty of an offence against this Act. Failure to comply shall impose a penalty of imprisonment for five (5) years or RM100,000 or both.

At the end, the court has imposed a fine of RM8,000.00 or 3 months imprisonment if fails to pay; after the accused pleads guilty through plea bargaining.

Let look at the Section 198(1)(a) of CA, 2016 (with effect from 31.01.2017) on the requirement on the disqualified from being a director. Under this new act, it provides that an undischarged bankruptcy cannot hold office as a director or take part in the management of the company. It is regardless whether his/ her bankruptcy is within or outside Malaysia.

Any Exemption?

Can a person with bankruptcy status be appointed or hold office as a director? The answer is yes; however approval is required either from the Official Receiver (OR) or the Court as according to Section 198(3) of CA, 2016.

If option by way from the Court approval, the person shall serve a notice to the OR and the Registrar of Companies on his/ her intention to apply for such leave. The registrar shall be made as a party to the proceeding; whereas the OR will be heard in court.

Severe Fine and Penalty

Any penalty for contravenes this section? Refer to Section 198(7) of CA, 2016, a heavier penalty to be imposed as compared to Section 125 (1) of CA, 1965 where offender shall be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five (5) years or to a fine not exceeding RM1 million or both.

SSM take seriously the qualification of a person to act as the director. This is proven from the additional requirement and also increase 10 times the amount of fine under Section 198 of CA, 2016 as compared to Section 125 (1) of CA, 1965.

Hence, any appointment to act as director of a company should not take for granted by merely making a declaration under Section 201 of the Companies Act 2016. It should be supplementary along with comprehensive background research of the person such as bankruptcy search with Jabatan Insolvency Malaysia to avoid any heavy penalty imposed on the contradiction of the act.

View Full Size

RMCD Special Voluntary Disclosure & Amnesty Program (VA)

Background of VA

Under the proposed indirect tax amnesty program, taxpayers will be encouraged to voluntarily disclose underpaid or unpaid indirect taxes arising from errors or mistakes made in indirect tax filings or submissions, in exchange for reduced penalties.

Taxpayers who have failed to register and comply with indirect tax filing requirements are also expected to be eligible for the VA.

Key summary of VA

Special Voluntary Disclosure and Amnesty Program (VA) will be implemented with effect from 1 January 2022.

The VA program will be introduced in two (2) phases with penalty remission (with full payment during the said period) :

  • 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022 : 100% penalty remission

  • 1 July 2022 to 30 September 2022 : 50% penalty remission

What is VA?

The VA program will involve two (2) distinct programs :

1. Voluntary disclosure program : Taxpayers can voluntarily disclose any unpaid or under-reported indirect tax/duty not known or discovered by RMCD under this program.

2. Amnesty program – Taxpayers with any outstanding Bill of Demand (“BOD”) or who have been audited by the RMCD Compliance Division and received audit findings on non-compliance areas can enjoy penalty and tax/duty remissions under this program.

The VA program will cover all indirect taxes administered by RMCD, including Sales Tax, Service Tax, GST, Tourism Tax, Departure Levy, Import Duty, Export Duty and Excise Duty.

Good faith

Voluntary disclosure submitted in good faith will be accepted. No audit will be conducted on the activities and periods involved.

Once the VA period is over, RMDC will enhance enforcement with hefty penalties.

Starting a new job is truly exciting, but we might also feel nervous ahead of our first day job. Even though I have been working for 14 years down the road, venturing to a newer job, never ceased to evoke my anxiety, well which induced my non-stop sneezing and sore throat since yesterday morning.

Surprised me as I used to have this only when I am entering the exam hall.

In the excitement and having a mixture of anxiety, I woke up at 5 am to have a cup of coffee and tried to compose myself by watching my all-time favourite “The Good Wife” – never failed to boost my day thou. And yes, a pep talk from my husband.

I enjoyed the journey coming to work and even though my house is a bit further from Taman Molek, seeing my husband’s happiness that I am going to grow with the company and learn more to enhance my ACCA, skills, and knowledge – Pasir Gudang Traffic is not going to break us at anyways.

My first step in KTP office

Upon arrival, after a small breakfast the nearby café, I felt the warm welcoming from Anissa ( the admin sweet girl ). I have seen Jothi virtually and many times have spoken over the phone, but to my amusement, I was not expecting a bubbly but informative person to guide me and the other intern girl called Christine. I enjoyed the most to do the vide greetings as I believe it’s a great way to have an ice breaking session.

Orientation @ KTP

I will not deny that I enjoyed getting all the policies’ warming up sessions, the ‘Dos’ and ‘Don’ts’ , the MSI setup as well accessing to the outlook, tutoring the SOPs, walking us the cultures, showing all the areas, the most prime : sharing her positive opinions about KTP.

Giving me some books ( The seven spiritual laws of success, FISH, Who moved my cheese ) and allocated me a task of reading them and do a summary ( either via video or writing ) – well that task surely amazed me more. As a devoted reader and blogger as well a conveyer of my reading and writing contents to others – I will not deny how much I am thrilled and at the same time how much it has amazed me about the KTP culture- the emphasizing the holistic knowledge growth amongst staffs.

For many years, me running the HR head ( as in general affairs and customer service ), it’s a nice feeling to be the other side after sometime to get tutored and educate about company’s policies, and me listening without any judgements or having a skeptical way of thinking that been guided by a young person ( younger than me ) – were more exciting.

Seeing her, shows me how much KTP has shaped her to be a better leader and enhanced her skills to be a great trainer too.

After settling down, going through all the systems ( before my lunch break ), I liked them a lot! Me being a detailed orientated individual and system follower as well policies’ maker along with employment handbook setter- KTP’s investment in these areas, is a great cushion to have a great working system.

More confidence of mine to excel in ACCA has been instilled and more enthusiasm been moulded to give my utmost best to KTP and grow with them.

My official meeting with the boss of KTP

As talking to Mr Koh at 2.00pm, listening to his objectives and motives: despite I spoke lesser as I was focused about listening to his contents – I can see how much he gives importance to critical thinking as well the enhancement importance he gives towards a positive driven working culture are very significant aspects that he expects to be adhered by all the staffs.

I would like to have my understandings to be polished by Mr Koh as per my opinion, he is a leader who wants his fellow members to be in the right directions at all times.

The humbles in me being more evoked and the curiosity of learning has been instilled in a larger scale now.

Happy to be part of this reputable organization.

What is tax recovery action by LHDN?

Background story from a Facebook post

Last year, I was fined by LHDN for under-declaring the tax and I was fined RM30K with 2 years instalments. Because of the MCO this year, I did not pay the money on time. Originally, it was the 11th issue this month, but I was only going to the seventh issue.…

I suddenly received a letter from ''Kes Mahkamah'' the day before yesterday. I opened it and saw that it said that I would go to court on December 20 and I had to pay more than RM25k in one go. ….…

Can I really continue to pay in instalments? Can't it be the 11th issue if I return him on time now?

LHDN tax recovery action

LHDN can file a recovery action against the taxpayer if no payment is made after 30 days from the services of the Notice of Assessment (NOA).

Judgement in Default

A writ saman (writ of summons) and pernyataan tuntutan (statement of claim) will be served to the taxpayer. If the taxpayer does not enter appearance within 14 days, a judgement in default of appearance (JID) will be entered against the taxpayer. Once a JID is entered, LHDN can proceed to execute the JID against the taxpayer.

Summary of Judgement

If summary judgement is entered, LHDN will proceed to file bankruptcy proceedings against taxpayer to recover the taxes. Once summary judgement is entered, taxpayer must by lumpsum. Thus, negotiate for instalment scheme before summary judgement is entered.

A summary judgement means a judgment can be entered against taxpayer without having to go for a trial. The Court will not entertain any challenges on the correctness of the assessment. The challenges can only be done at the Special Commission of Income Tax.

Instalment scheme S103(7) ITA 1967

Where any tax is payable in accordance with subsection (2), the Director General may allow the tax to be paid by instalments in such amounts and on such dates …. in the event of default in payment of any one instalment on the date specified for payment the balance of the tax then outstanding shall be due and payable on that date and shall without any further notice being served … and that sum shall be recoverable as if it were tax due and payable under this Act.

Consent Judgement

A consent judgment will be recorded before the Court when both parties (taxpayer and LHDN) agree to the instalment plan.

A lapse in any one of payment, the Consent Judgement will be revoked and the tax will become due and payable immediately.

No bankruptcy/winding-up proceeding will be filed against the taxpayer as long as payment is made.

Accounting for bitcoin (cryptocurrency)

Accounting for bitcoin (cryptocurrency)
View Full Size

Accounting for bitcoin (cryptocurrency)

No accounting standard currently exists to explain how cryptocurrency should be accounted for, accountants have no alternative but to refer to existing accounting standards.

What is cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency is an intangible digital token that is recorded using a distributed ledger infrastructure, often referred to as a blockchain.

These tokens provide various rights of use. For example, cryptocurrency is designed as a medium of exchange. Other digital tokens provide rights to the use other assets or services, or can represent ownership interests.

These tokens are owned by an entity that owns the key that lets it create a new entry in the ledger. Access to the ledger allows the re-assignment of the ownership of the token. These tokens are not stored on an entity’s IT system as the entity only stores the keys to the Blockchain (as opposed to the token itself).

They represent specific amounts of digital resources which the entity has the right to control, and whose control can be reassigned to third parties

What accounting standards

Cash & cash equivalents

Bitcoin is too volatile! Cash is readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Financial assets

It does not represent cash, an equity interest in an entity, or a contract establishing a right or obligation to deliver or receive cash or another financial instrument.

Moreover, bitcoins do not provide the holders with a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all its liabilities.

Property, Plant & Equipment

Bitcoin is not a tangible asset so it does not fall into the scope of PPE.

Inventory

Inventory accounting may be appropriate if an entity holds bitcoins for sale in the ordinary course of business.

However if an entity holds bitcoins for investment purposes over a period of time, inventory accounting is not appropriate.

Intangible assets

It appears to meet the definition of an intangible asset which define as an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance.

Public Ruling (PR) No. 4/2021: Taxation of Income Arising from Settlements

Public Ruling (PR) No. 4/2021: Taxation of Income Arising from Settlements

Public Ruling (PR) No. 4/2021: Taxation of Income Arising from Settlements

The IRB has published Public Ruling (PR) No. 4/2021: Taxation of Income Arising from Settlements, dated 13 August 2021.

The objective of Public Ruling 4/2021

The PR explains the taxation of income arising from a settlement created by a person for the benefit of another person.

* Clarify who constitutes a “settlor” and what constitute “settlements” for income tax purposes

• Explain the circumstances where income arising from a settlement is deemed to be the income of a settlor and hence assessable on him/her.

• Explain how the amount of income of a settlor from settlements is determined

• Explain the tax treatment in a settlement where there are two or more settlors

Example

Mr Rich transferred a shophouse to his unmarried son as a gift for his 18 years old birthday. The shophouse will generate RM10,000 of rental income every month.

The rental income should be assessable under Mr Rich or his son?

The rental income would be deemed to be Mr Rich’s income, as his son is below 18 years old and unmarried.

When his son attains 21 years old, the rental income would be assessable under his son.

But why?

Because there is a “settlement” for an unmarried relative under 21 years of age.

Definition of settlement in tax ruling

In a settlement, there must be an element of giving or getting something for nothing or less than the open market value.

The shophouse is treated as a birthday gift to his son without any consideration.

Tax treatment on income from the settlement

In subsection 65 of ITA mentions that the settlement for an unmarried relative under 21 years’ old, income would be deemed to be the income of settlor (Mr Rich) where a settlement is created either directly or indirectly for the benefit of a relative.

However, in subsection 65(1) of ITA, the income would be deemed as income of the relative when:

1. in the event of the death of the settlor;

2. a relative under 21 years old who is married;

3. a relative who is 21 years old and above whether married or unmarried.

In this case, his son is unmarried and 18 years old.
