Deferment of CP204 Payment 2022

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).

Foreign source income taxable in Malaysia 2022

THE government has made a surprising U-turn on Dec 30, 2021 after announcing that foreign-sourced income received in Malaysia by Malaysian tax residents will be taxed.

Current Ruling

The following foreign-sourced income received will continue to be exempted from Malaysian income tax from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2026 (5 years)

  • Dividend income received by resident companies and limited liability partnerships will be exempted to 2026.

  • All classes of income received by resident individuals will be exempted by 2026.

Why Partnership not Exempted?

Resident partnerships which carry on business will not be exempted. But partnerships as a general rule are not taxed. It is the individual partners who are taxed.

Final Words

Let’s wait for IRB further clarification on partnership matter

Impairment of assets due to floodings

Impairment of assets due to floodings

Impairment of assets due to floodings

Overview of Impairment-Assets Accounting

An asset impairment arises when there is a sudden drop in the fair value of an asset below its recorded cost. The accounting for asset impairment is to write off the difference between the fair value and the recorded cost.

Flooding continues across Malaysia! Do you know how to account for impairment of assets due to flood?

Here are some tips for you.

Key takeaways:

I. What is an impairment loss

II. What is an impairment test in accounting?

III. How do you treat the impairment of assets in accounting?

IV. How do you record an impairment of an asset?

V. Is an impairment an expense?

VI. Which accounting standard is applicable for impairment of assets?

VII. Indicators of impairment

Summary of learnings:

I. What is impairment loss?

An impaired asset is an asset valued at less than book value or net carrying value. In other words, an impaired asset has a current market value that is less than the value listed on the balance sheet. To account for the loss, the company's balance sheet must be updated to reflect the asset's new diminished value.

Floods can cause damage to the appliances on your premises. including the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, water heaters or refrigerators. As a result, we can no longer recover any value through the use or sale of damaged assets.

We will need to provide impairment when the recoverable amount of an asset is less than the book value of an asset.

II. What is an impairment test in accounting?

An impairment test is an accounting procedure carried out to find out if an asset is impaired, i.e. whether the economic benefits that the asset embodies have dropped drastically. In general, if the carrying value of an asset exceeds the sum of undiscounted expected cash flows of an asset, the asset is impaired.

III. How do you treat the impairment of assets in accounting?

If the recoverable amount of the asset is more than the carrying amount, then the impairment loss has to be reversed and it has to be treated as income in the books of accounts. The reversal of impairment loss previously recognized for a cash-generating unit has to be allocated first to the assets, then goodwill.

IV. How do you record an impairment of an asset?

The total dollar value of impairment is the difference between the asset's carrying cost and the lower market value of the item. The journal entry to record an impairment is a debit to a loss, or expense, account and a credit to the related asset.

V. Is an impairment an expense?

Impairment is a non-cash expense that is reported under the operating expenses section of the income statement.

VI. Which accounting standard is applicable for impairment of assets?

The core principle in Malaysian Private Entities Reporting Standard (MPERS) – Section 27.5 to 27.9is that an asset must not be carried in the financial statements at more than the highest amount to be recovered through its use or sale. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is described as impaired.

VII. Indicators of impairment

What are the other indicators except for flooding? Such as:-

External factors:

- Market value declines

- Negative changes in technology, markets, economy, or laws

- Increases in market interest rates

- Carrying amounts of assets higher than market value

Internal factors:

- obsolescence or physical damage

- asset is idle, part of a restructuring or held for disposal

- economic performance if an assets worse than expected

Why auditor ask any impairment on inventory

MPERS section 13 Inventories

When performing an inventory audit, some of the most common challenges faced by the auditor include: Damaged inventory whose value must be adjusted to reflect its actual value to the company. ... Errors in shipping and receiving of goods can lead to an incorrect end-of-year cutoff total in inventory records

How should we value inventories?

Generally, inventories are valued at cost!

However, if the net realizable value (NRV) of the inventory is less than the cost, the NRV will usually need to be reported on the balance sheet instead of the cost.

What is the cost?

Cost consists of the cost of purchase, conversion, production overheads, joint products and by-products, and other relevant cost.

What is the net realizable value (NRV)?

Net realizable value (NRV) is defined as the expected selling price minus cost of completion.

In what situation we use NRV?

It requires the valuation of inventories at the lower of its historical cost or market value, but if market value cannot be calculated, then the net realizable value of the inventory should be used.

In practice, these are the scenarios where NRV come to the picture: -

1) Oversupply

2) Obsolescence

3) Price decline

Interest expense

The Malaysian Income Tax Act 1967 (“Act”) specifically singles out interest expenses incurred under some circumstances to be deductible. Typically, interest expense arising from borrowing used for general working capital or purchase of fixed assets would qualify for this prescribed deduction.

Subject to this Act, the adjusted income of a person from a source for the basis period for a year of assessment shall be an amount ascertained by deducting from the gross income of that person from that source for that period all outgoings and expenses wholly and exclusively incurred during that period by that person in the production of gross income from that source.

Section 33 (4) the Income Tax Act 1967

For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a) and subsection (2), where any sum payable for a basis period for a year of assessment is not due to be paid in that period, the sum shall when it is due to be paid be deducted in arriving at the adjusted income of a person for that period.

Section 109 the Income Tax Act 1967

Where any person (in this section referred to as the payer) is liable to pay interest or royalty derived from Malaysia to any other person not known to him to be resident in Malaysia, other than interest or royalty attributable to a business carried on by such other person in Malaysia, he shall upon paying or crediting the interest (other than interest on an approved loan or interest of the kind referred to in paragraph 33, 33A, 33B, 35 or 35A of Part I, Schedule 6) or royalty deduct therefrom tax at the rate applicable to such interest or royalty, and (whether or not that tax is so deducted) shall within one month after paying or crediting the interest or royalty render an account and pay the amount of that tax to the Director General...

Section 140C the Income Tax Act 1967

(1) This section shall apply without prejudice to section 140 or 140A and subject to any rules made under this Act.

(2) In ascertaining the adjusted income of a person from each of his sources consisting of a business for the basis period for a year of assessment, no deduction from the gross income from that source for that period shall be allowed in respect of any interest expense in connection with or on any financial assistance in a controlled transaction granted directly or indirectly to that person which is in excess of the maximum amount of interest as determined under any rules made under this Act.

Section 140A the Income Tax Act 1967

(1) This section shall apply notwithstanding section 140 and subject to any rules prescribed under this Act.

(2) Subject to subsection (3), where a person in the basis period for a year of assessment enters into a transaction with an associated person for that year for the acquisition or supply of property or services, then, for all purposes of this Act, that person shall determine and apply the arm’s length price for such acquisition or supply.

Section 33(2) the Income Tax Act 1967

Where a person, being a person to whom paragraph (1)(a) applies in relation to gross income from a business of his for the basis period for a year of assessment and in relation to borrowed money, has made (otherwise than for the purpose of producing that gross income)any loan of money or any investment in movable or immovable property, and the loan or any part thereof is outstanding at any time in that period or the investment or any part thereof is held by him at any time in that period and it appears to the Director General that the loan or any part thereof or the investment or any part thereof has been financed wholly or partly or directly or indirectly out of the borrowed

Is rental income a business income?

Tax Case - BCSB v. DIRECTOR GENERAL OF INCOME TAX

Income is received from the letting of the properties. Taxpayer declared and taxed under section 4(a) ITA 1967 as a business income from YA 2001 to 2011.

Tax audit finding

Income received from letting the properties from YA 2011 is to be taxed under section 4(d) of the ITA as rental income pursuant to Public Ruling No. 4/2011.

Tax audit action

1. Withdrew Capital Allowance for the properties

2. Capital Allowance for the properties

3. Added back the same in the tax computation for YA 2011.

4. Raised the Notices of Additional Assessment for YA 2010 and 2011.

The Company’s opinion

1. The rental income is the business income under section 4(a) of the ITA since its commencement in 2001.

2. The Public Ruling No 4/2011 has no force of law.

IRB argument

1. The Company had failed to provide comprehensive & active maintenance to the properties.

2. The Company only provided maintenance upon request by the tenants.

3. Public Ruling 4/2011 offers guidelines for the tax treatment of the rental income.

4. The Company is disallowed to claim the administration expenses and capital allowance for this non-business income.

5. The interest expenditure for the term loan and bank overdraft claimed by the Company are also not permitted.

6. Section 4 does not determine whether an income falls under subsection (a),(b),(c), (d),(e) or (f).

7. Therefore, the DGIR is authorized under s.138A of the ITA to issue a public ruling.

Decision

The Special Commissioners of Income Tax'' (SCIT) agreed with the IRB submission and totally dismissed the Company appeal.

The assessment and penalty imposed by the IRB for YA 2010 and 2011 are confirmed and maintained.

How do I transfer shares of a deceased person ?

Introduction

Section 109 of the Companies Act, 2016 applies if the right of shares is transmitted to a person by operation of law.

When the right of shares can be transmitted?…. The existing member is deceased or becomes bankrupt.

How to transmit?

1. Give notice to the company in writing requesting his/ her name to be registered as a shareholder together with a copy of the Death Certificate of the deceased.

2. Supported by any document

a) the will or

b) letters of administration

3. Register the (beneficiary) person as a shareholder with SSM within 60 days.

Question:

Can the company directors refuse to approve the transmission of shares to the beneficiary?

Refer to the Malaysia case law: Ng Chong Wee v Ng Chong Geng & Sons Sdn Bhd

The Court of Appeal referred to the English case of Moodie v W & J Shepherd (Bookbinders) Ltd where the House of Lords explained the distinction between transfer and transmission.

Such transmission shall not affect any power of a company to register a (beneficiary) person as a shareholder to whom the right to shares has been transmitted by operation of law.

Sales & service tax have different accounting treatments. We must clearly know the accounting basis to avoid incorrect submission.
Let’s say the customer couldn’t make the payment to us, but we have submitted and paid SST on the relevant sales. Can we apply for the SST refund? Don’t worry, let us talk about the claim of SST refund for bad debts.
𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐒𝐓 𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐭𝐬
Sales Tax - Accrual basis
Sales Tax is accounted for when the goods are sold, disposed of, or used.
Example:
Company A is a mechanical parts manufacturing company. The company issues invoices to customers on 15/09/2021. Therefore, the sales tax will be calculated based on the date of the invoice and submitted in the coming tax period.
Service Tax - Payment basis
Service Tax accounted : When receiving payment from a customer;
If the customer has not paid within 12 months, the taxpayer will have to pay the service tax to the customs on the first day after 12 months from the invoice date.
Example:
Company B is a service provided company. The company issues invoices to customers on 15/09/2021, but customers make payments on 17/12/2021. Therefore, the service tax will be calculated based on the date of payment and submitted in the coming tax period.
Company B is a service provided company. The company issues invoices to customers on 15/09/2021, but the customers have not paid for it for more than one year. Therefore, the service tax will be calculated on the first day after 12 months from the invoice date (15/09/2022) and submitted in the coming tax period.
𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐭𝐬
When the company is unable to recover the arrears from the customer, the company can request a tax refund for the paid sales and service tax from the customs. However, the company must fulfil the following conditions to claim this tax refund:
𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐱
The company has written off all or part of the unrecoverable sales tax in the accounts as bad debts.
The company has taken reasonable actions to recover the sales tax from customers.
The company must apply for this sales tax refund within six years from the date the sales tax is paid.
𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐱
The company has written off all or part of this unrecoverable service tax as bad debts in the accounts.
The company has taken reasonable actions to recover the service tax from customers.
The company has not recovered any payments related to service tax from the customers.
This unrecoverable service tax has been paid to the customs.
The company must apply for this service tax refund within six years from the date the service tax is paid.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐭𝐬
i）If the company has received a part of the payment for the sales of taxable goods,
the claim can be made for the difference between the sales tax paid and the amount
calculated as below formula：
A / B X C (A divided by B and multiplied by C)
A = Payment received from the customer
B = Total amount of the invoice including tax
C = Tax amount of the invoice
Example： Company A is a registered company. The company has issued an invoice with RM 110,000.00, but company A only receives payment of RM 60,000.00 including tax from customers. Later, the customer declared bankruptcy, and he was unable to repay the debt. Company A has paid a 10% tax to the customs. Therefore, Company A is eligible to claim the bad debt sales tax refund from the customs based on the following calculations：
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝：
RM 60,000.00 / RM 110,000.00 x RM 10,000.00 = RM 5,454.55
Hence, the bad debts that Company A can claim from the custom are RM4,545.45 (RM10,000.00 – RM5,454.55)
ii）The required form for applying for the bad debt repayment is Form JKDM No.2. This form must be submitted to Cawangan Perakaunan Hasil according to zone /state /station.
𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝

Documents or records which prove that the sales tax paid by the customer has not been received.
Documents or records which prove that reasonable actions have been taken to claim taxable payments from customers.
Documents or records which prove that the unrecoverable sales of taxable goods have been written off as bad debts on the accounts.
Remarks: If you request the SST refund from the customs, but subsequently receive payment from the customer, you shall report the SST and pay it to the customs!

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.
