Withholding Tax on Payments to Agents
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.

Auditor Report on Stocktake Attendance
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
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.

Reinvestment Allowance LHDN
Common mistakes in claiming 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

Can LHDN access your bank account?
Under what circumstance your bank information is accessible by LHDN?
The new provision does not give it absolute power to simply access taxpayers' bank account information.
It is only limited to cases involving garnishee orders allowed by the Court.
LHDN is required to go through a prescribed process of judgment and is only limited to cases that have already gone through a civil proceeding before.
What is garnishee order?
The garnishee proceedings are the process of enforcing a monetary judgment by seizing or withholding debts due to a specific party.
LHDN has the right to do so because of the existence of unpaid tax arrears by the taxpayer.

What is ESG Malaysia
什么是ESG报告认证?
所谓ESG报告的认证,也就是聘请独立第三方对企业CSR报告/ESG报告/可持续发展报告进行审核,给出一个客观的结论,以表明这份CSR报告是不是做到客观、是不是披露了实质性(重大性)议题、是否完整等。
市场上通常是四大会计师事务所(瑞士通标SGS、英国标准协会BSI、普华、安永、毕马威、德勤)和传统的质量认证机构(挪威船级社、法国必维、德国莱茵、英国劳氏等)为企业提供这方面的服务,遵循的标准一般是AccountAbility发布的AA1000AS标准,也有的会同时应用国际鉴证业务准则ISAE3000(修订版),或者自成一体糅合上述准则成为自已的一套标准,但原理基本上一样的。
报告认证,对应的英文是Report insurance,也有人将之翻译为审验或验证,因为对传统的质量认证机构来说,认证是verification/audit之类的服务,这个Report insurance不太一样。
而在会计师事务所,为了话术上的一致,会翻译成鉴证。术语不同,意义是一致的。

ISQM 1 Audit Risk Assessment
ISQM 1 Audit Risk Assessment
The foundation of ISQM 1, and a key change from extant ISQC 1, is that the firm needs to follow a risk-based approach to quality management, which focuses the firm on :
The firm’s risk assessment process is new to ISQM 1.
• The risks that may arise, given the nature and circumstances of the firm and the engagements it performs; and
• Implementing responses to appropriately address those risks.
A risk-based approach helps the firm tailor the SOQM to the firm’s circumstances, as well as the circumstances of the engagements performed by the firm. It also helps the firm effectively manage quality through concentrating on what matters most given the nature and circumstances of the firm and the engagements it performs.
ISQM 1 requires the firm to have a risk assessment process, the purpose of which is to establish quality objectives, identify and assess quality risks and design and implement responses to address the quality risks.
3 main steps
In designing the quality management system, there are three main steps :
(i) Establish quality objectives to achieve the objective of the system of quality management;
(ii) Identify and assess quality risks to provide a basis for the design and implementation of responses;
(iii) Design and implement responses to achieve those quality objectives.
Quality objectives
The quality objectives are outcome-based to manage quality through the identification of risks. These objectives are established to address possible quality risks that may result in non-quality engagements. For example, insufficient work performed for planning may result in inappropriate identification of audit risks and other significant audit issues.
ISQM 1 specifies quality objectives that firms need to establish, and these objectives are mandatory to be adopted by firms, where applicable. For example, the quality objective of assigning roles and responsibilities for the system of quality management within the firm may not be relevant for a sole practitioner.
In addition to those prescribed by ISQM 1, firms will also need to consider if additional quality objectives are required to be established based on the firms’ risk assessment processes, where applicable.
Quality Risk
One of the new requirements of ISQM 1 is the identification of quality risks with respect to the nature and circumstances of the firms and their engagements. For example, the complexity and operating characteristics of the firm, management style of leadership, client portfolio and complexity of the engagements performed by the firm will impact the risk assessment process and result in different quality management systems for individual firms.
There are no prescribed quality risks in the standards. Firms are required to obtain an understanding of the conditions, events, circumstances, actions or inactions that may adversely affect the achievement of the quality objectives with respect to the nature and circumstances of the firms and their engagements prescribed in paragraph 25(a) of ISQM 1, with the caveat that the list is non-exhaustive.
Firms are expected to identify their own quality risks, assess if a risk has a reasonable possibility of occurring, and how the risk may adversely affect the achievement of one or more quality objectives when it occurs, either individually or in combination with other risks.
Responses
Once the quality objectives and their quality risks have been established (other than some responses specified in the standard that firms are required to design and implement), firms are expected to develop their own responses to address the identified quality risks.
It is also important to take note of the interconnectivity of different components, such as, ethics-related requirements are being dealt with in the information and communication component, as well as the relevant ethical requirements component.
The responses to common quality risks identified by different firms may differ as each firm is faced with varying conditions, events, circumstances, actions or inactions.
Hence, firms will need to customise the design, implementation and operation of their quality management systems to ensure that they are responsive to changes in the nature and circumstances of the firms and their engagements.
The next few sections will illustrate the key principles of the remaining components with an example of quality risk and the proposed corresponding response.

What costs are included in fixed assets?
What costs are included in fixed assets?
When acquiring a factory, except for the cost of land and building, we have to incur many other costs, such as:-
i) dismantling the items left by the previous owner,
ii) renovation cost,
iii) legal fees for the loan agreement, and
iv) Other administration costs.
Can we capitalize all of the cost as “assets”?
Dismantling and renovation costs as i & ii above, can be capitalised,
Legal fees and other administrative costs as iii & iv above need to be expense off.
Generally, we should capitalize all of the costs as long as there are incurred directly attributable to bringing the asset to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Expensed off cost
However, there are some costs specifically mentioned in the standards which we should NOT capitalized:
- Cost of opening a new facility
- Cost of advertising and promotional activities
- Cost of staff training
- Administration and other general overhead costs
- Borrowing costs
