Tax Budget 2023 - Others

Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim have proposed some changes to the income tax rates under the new Budget 2023.

Key summary on tax budget 2023 for Others

Capital Gain Tax

The proposal to introduce a capital gains tax (CGT) on the disposal of unlisted shares has been welcomed as a move in the right direction by economists but a tax expert has cautioned a more in-depth study is needed.

The proposal is a sign the government is kickstarting its move to impose taxes on more capital items in the future.

Tricor Malaysia chairman Veerinderjeet Singh opines the government would have in theory three mechanism options for CGT implementation.

“Either a new legislation on CGT will be introduced, or the existing legislation on real property gains tax (RPGT) will be amended to include the sale of shares of unlisted companies, or it will be added within the Income Tax Act by defining it to include certain capital gains, which can be reported annually.”

Luxury Goods Tax

A luxury tax is a tax imposed on goods that are considered expensive, unnecessary and unimportant. Such items include cars, private jets, yachts and jewellery.

Retabling the budget in the Dewan Rakyat last week, Anwar who also holds the finance portfolio said that the government had no plans to reintroduce the goods and services tax (GST).

In Norway, cars and chocolate alike are considered a luxury and subject to a luxury tax. 

Let’s see how the government come out with detailed implementation in the coming months.

Special Voluntary Disclosure Program (SVDP)

The IRB and RMCD will implement the SVDP again. Under the SVDP, a 100% penalty remission will be granted with effect from 1 June 2023 to 31 May 2024.

What Do You Mean by LLP?

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is simply a combination of the feature if a partnership and a limited liability company.

Advantages of LLP company:

a) Limited Liability. Under LLP, the partners are only liable for the amount invested in the company (capital) if the company suffers a loss.

b) Separate Legal Entity. It is a separate legal entity like a company, thus this means a LLP can own property, enter into contracts and conduct business in its own name.

c) Flexible Management. LLP is considered to have a flexible management style where the partners could manage the business by themselves or appoint a manager to operate the business on behalf of them. This allows partner to focus on their areas of expertise.

d) Need Not Be Audited. For a LLP company, there is no need to lodge the audited financial statements under normal circumstances. This help the LLP company to save costs.

e) Continuity. The company can still continue to exist and operate even if one or more partners leave the company or die.

Circumstances LLP is Suitable

a) Professional Services. LLP is suitable for professional services provider like accountants, lawyers, consultants and etc. This is because they could benefit from the flexible management feature of the LLP that allows them to focus their own areas of expertise

b) SME. LLP is suitable for SME company because this type of business entity would normally prefer to have limited liability protection for its partners. Especially in the early stage of start-up when the company has very limited resources to repay any potential losses.

Can my Sdn Bhd appoint more than one (1) company secretary ?

Can my Sdn Bhd appoint more than one (1) company secretary ?
View Full Size

Can my Sdn Bhd appoint more than one (1) company secretary ?

Recently we encountered a question raised by Company Director asking whether Sdn Bhd can appoint more than 1 secretary for the company.

Section 235(1) of the Companies Act (CA) 2016 states that a company shall have at least 1 secretary. This means there is no prohibition to appoint more than 1 person to act as secretary for the company.

CA only prohibition this person to act in dual capital (ie as secretary and at the same time as a director) under Section 242 of CA2016 to avoid authorisation by the same person.

Additionally, the company cannot simply appoint anyone to act as the secretary.

There are requirements to be fulfilled before the appointment and the requirements are listed below:

I) Basic

a) a natural person;

b) age 18 years old and above; and

c) citizen or permanent resident of Malaysia who resident and having a principal address of residence in Malaysia

II) Qualification/ Professional requirement

a) a member of a body listed in the Fourth Schedule of CA2016; or

b) a person licensed under Section 20G of the Companies Commission of Malaysia Act 2001.

Who is responsible to appoint a company secretary?

Company Directors may not have a full understanding of the technical knowledge in compliance according to the act. Hence, he requires the assistance of a qualified person to attend to compliance matters.

Therefore, the secretary holds an official role in the company and is also an officer under Section 2 of the CA 2016.

This means the secretary is binding to the company. He/ she is required to play his/ her role as administrator to maintain the registered record with the Registrar of Company according to the act.

When to appoint a company secretary?

Within 30 days from the date of incorporation with written consent from the Company Secretary as stated in Section 236(2)&(3) of CA2016.

The appointment of a subsequent company secretary is made by the Board of Directors depending on the terms and conditions of such appointment.

Generally, Sdn Bhd may choose to have more than 1 company secretary.

Tax Treatment on Compensation for Loss of Employment

Overview

Many economists and financial experts predict the global recession to start in 2023. The global recession has led the organisation to cut costs by laying off employees. Those employees will receive money either in the form of compensation for loss of employment or gratuity.

Do you know whether the incomes received by the employees from loss of employment are taxable or exempted in Malaysia?

Key takeaways:

You will understand:

1. What is included in compensation for loss of employment?

2. What is the difference between compensation and gratuity?

3. What are the tax treatments?

4. Circumstances not subject to tax exemption.

Summary of learning

1. What is included in compensation for loss of employment?

According to Paragraph 13(1)(e) of Income Tax Act 1967, it includes:

a) Salary or wages in lieu of notice;

b) Compensation for breach of a contract of service;

c) Payments to obtain release from a contingent liability (employer’s obligation) under a contract of service;

e) A payment in consideration of a covenant, arrangement or similar agreement restricting the activities of an employee in respect of engaging in an employment of a similar kind after termination of his employment.

f) Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) or Mutual Separation Scheme

2. What is the difference between compensation and gratuity?

It is important to differentiate whether the payment made to an employee is compensation or gratuity, as there will have different tax treatment.

a) Compensation for loss of employment

- Compensation is a payment given to the employees when they are laid off before the end of the service contract.

b) Gratuity

- Gratuity is a payment given to the employees when they resign or retire after serving for a long period of time. It is a lump sum amount that is presented to recognise an employee’s past services.

3. What are the tax treatments?

The compensation for loss of employment received by an employee is given a full or partial exemption as follows:

a) Full Exemption

A full exemption will be given if the reason for loss of employment is due to ill health.

Criteria: The health condition of the employee is required to be certified in writing by a Medical Board.

b) Partial Exemption

An exemption of RM10,000 is given for each completed year of service.

Criteria: The employee must work with the same employer or companies within the same group during the period.

4. Circumstances Not Subject to Tax Exemption

a) Reemployment implied under separation schemes:

If the separation scheme offers the employees reemployment with the same employer or any other employer, the compensation under the scheme does not qualify for an exemption.

b) Compensation for loss of employment for non-service director:

Non-service director is a director employed in the service of the Company that owns more than 5% of the ordinary shares of the Company.

Payments made by controlled companies to non-service director is not eligible for any tax exemption.

Keyman Insurance Tax Deduction Malaysia

Keyman Insurance Tax Deduction Malaysia
View Full Size

Quiz of the day - Keyman Insurance Tax Deductible Malaysia

1. Issue

KTP Tax Consultant Sdn Bhd can claim a tax deduction on Mr. Koh Teck Peng personal insurance in KTP Tax Consultants Sdn Bhd?

What is the personal tax impact on Mr. Koh Teck Peng?

In my opinion, the personal insurance paid by the Company for Mr. Koh is not tax allowable as Mr. Koh is control director of KTP Tax Consultants Sdn Bhd.

However, Mr. Koh has to declare the total amount of premium paid in his personal income tax which is taxed under paragraph 4(b) of the ITA

2. Fact

Company Tax impact

There are a number of requirements that must be met in order to claim a tax deduction.

According to Income Tax Act 1967 Section 33(1), expenses only can be deductible if it wholly and exclusively incurred in the generate of income is allowable as a tax deduction.

Refer to Paragraph 4 of Public Ruling No.2/2003 – Key Man Insurance, if the insurance meets the following two requirements, the premium payable on a term life policy or an accident policy which is no return after expiration policy is allowable as a deduction against gross income from a business:-

• The insurance has no element of investment

• beneficial of the insurance must remain with the employer or company not the “key-person” or his family

However, a whole life policy and endowment policy is deemed to have element of investment due to both of these policies have cash value that are redeemable.

Therefore, these two policies would be regarded as a capital asset of a Company and thus the premium paid on these policies would not be allowed for tax deduction under paragraph 5.

Connected person

Addition, if the premium paid for director insurance on life of that person who owns share in the company is not allow to claim tax deduction in controlled company. It is also not permitted to deduct the premium for a ''key-man'' insurance coverage on the life of a business partner or sole proprietor under paragraph 7.

Personal Tax Impact

Refer to paragraph 6.8 Insurance premiums - Public Ruling No.5/2019 – Perquisites From Employment

The amount of the annual premium paid by the Company on behalf of the employee (including his family, his nominee) is a perquisite to the employee and shall reported in employee Form EA.

By reporting in the Form EA in employee, this would results in the amount of annual insurance premium become taxable income for the employee.
