Should You Buy A Property Under My Personal Name or Sdn Bhd?

Should You Buy A Property Under My Personal Name or Sdn Bhd?
View Full Size

Should You Buy A Property Under My Personal Name or Sdn Bhd?

Buying property under a personal name or Sdn Bhd has its own advantages or disadvantages, depending on the management decision.

There are a few factors to be considered before a decision is made: -

1) Tax

a) Rental Income

Effective from 18/05/2022, LHDN has made clarification on the Investment Holding Company (IHC). IHC is not considered as Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) due to there is not gross income generated, even though the company received rental income, interest income, and etc.

This means the company is a non-SME and the rental income will be directly taxed at 24%, not eligible to enjoy the preferential tax rate under paragraph 2A, Schedule 1 of ITA 1967.

b) Real Property Gain Tax (RPGT)

There is no RPGT imposed from the sixth year onwards for individuals who are Malaysian citizens and permanent residents, effective from 01 January 2022.

On the other hand, when the company disposes of the property, the RPGT will be taxed at between 10% to 30%, depending on the period for the disposal of the chargeable asset.

c) Tax Audit

A high-risk-profile individual or company will be selected by LHDN for a tax audit. This is due to LHDN's wondering where the deposit came from when you paid the deposit for the property you purchased. Has it reported tax?

d) Investment Building Allowance (IBA)

The building owner is eligible to claim the IBA under paragraph 63(c) Schedule 3 of the ITA 1967 when the property purchased and used it as industrial building by the tenant.

This means the owner of the building is eligible to claim the IBA, thereby reducing the tax payable.

2) Loan

The loan can be obtained by the financial institution up to 90% for the first and second residential properties purchased under the personal name. However, if the company purchases the residential properties under Sdn Bhd, the loan obtained will only be 60% for the company.

Therefore, there is an advantage for the person who buys the residential property under their own name.

Furthermore, you must obtain a 10% to 20% upfront deposit to the financial institution, regardless of whether it is under your personal name or under Sdn Bhd.

3) Administrative Expenses

Basically, the administration costs incurred for IHC and a Sdn Bhd are almost the same. The cost of setting up a Sdn Bhd runs into the thousands of dollars.

Otherwise, there is no extra cost incurred for buying property under your personal name.

In conclusion, there is no absolute answer. You should think twice before you make the decision by considering the factors above mentioned. Before you invest in property under your personal name or Sdn Bhd, you should be aware of your own motivation for purchasing the property, period of ownership, frequency of transaction, and etc.

RMCD Special Voluntary Disclosure & Amnesty Program (VA) - Update

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 31 December 2022 : 50% penalty remission

Exposure Draft on Section 23 Revenue of the IFRS for SMEs

Exposure Draft on Section 23 Revenue of the IFRS for SMEs
View Full Size

Exposure Draft on Section 23 Revenue of the IFRS for SMEs

Section 23 of the IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard set out requirement for SMEs to recognise revenue. It is based on IAS11 Construction Contracts and IAS 18 Revenue.

The IASB has applied the alignment approach to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and is proposing to revise Section 23 by introducing a single framework for recognising revenue for goods and services.

The IASB is proposing to

  1. introduce a framework for recognizing revenue which require revenue to be recognized when the customer obtains control of the goods/service, based on the 5 step model in IFRS 15.

  2. simplify requirements of IFRS 15 to make the five-step model easier for SME

  3. provide transition relief to allow SME to apply their current revenue recognition policy to contracts already in progress.

Framework for recognizing revenue

1. Identify the contract with a customer

2. Identify the promises in the contract

3. Determine the transaction price

4. Allocate the transaction price to the promises in the contract

5. Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfy a promise

What would this proposal mean for SME?

A comprehensive framework for determining when and how much revenue to recognise for goods and services.

For many contracts, the revised Section23 is expected to have little, if any, effect on the amount and timing of revenue recognition.

MPERS Section 33 Related party disclosures

My auditor is so annoying! Every time audit needs to ask me to confirm related party balances and transactions and force me to disclose them in my financial report.

Why?

Malaysian Private Entity Reporting Standard (MPERS) Section 33 has clearly stated that the Company should disclose anything that involves related parties which have affected the Company’s financial position and its profit and loss in its financial statement.

100% related party if two entities have a common director?

1. Assessment of the extent of the relationships is required (MEPRS 33.3) to determine whether the director has significant influence in both entities (MPERS 33.2) instead of judging on its legal title.

2. Hence, the two companies are not necessarily related parties even though they have common directors.

What disclosures are required for related parties at the reporting entity’s year ended?

1. Nature of related party relationship

2. Type of transactions

3. Value of transactions

4. Outstanding balance between related parties and its terms and conditions

What are the examples of the transactions?

1. Sales and purchase of goods

2. Rendering or receiving any form of services

3. Frequency of transactions

High frequency of similar transactions of digital currencies is more indicative of trading than an isolated transaction.

4. Supplementary work

This refers to additional work done on digital currencies to make it more marketable or extra effort made to find or attract purchasers. If this is done, it is more likely that the subsequent disposal would be regarded as trading.

5. Circumstances of the realization

Some circumstances are less likely to indicate trading (e.g. company is forced to sell the digital currencies due to compulsory acquisition, sudden urgent need of cash or threat of foreclosure by creditors).

6. Motive

This refers to whether there was an intention to trade at the time of the acquisition of the digital currencies. If a person undertake the activities in a business-lime manners such as developing a business plan, preparing accounting records and advertising the digital currencies business, the intention is definitely to do a business of digital currencies.
