The development on accounting for lease

Effective from 1 January 2019, IAS 17 Leases will be replaced by MFRS 16 with the following changes.

• The leases are no longer classified into operating leases or finance leases
• All leases are capitalised by recognising a lease liability and the right to use of assets on balance sheet.

 This means that the Company which takes up leases that only allows the right of use of asset, and not the ownership of assets, will also need to recognise its right to use the assets (Asset) first, and later on expense off to the interest (Expenses) and depreciation of the assets (Expenses).

This affects the balance sheet of the company as the old accounting standards only requires Company to disclose these leases on the profit and loss.

The new standard on MFRS 16 and the effect on financial statements are as follows:-

• A ‘right-of-use’ model replaces the ‘risks and rewards’ model.
• Lessees should recognise an “right-of-use” asset and lease liability based on the payment under lease
• The lease liabilities must be measured to the lease term (optional lease period)
• Lessees should reassess the lease term only upon the occurrence of a significant event or a significant change in circumstances that are within the control of the lessee
   

Double entry of accounting for leasing

For leases that allows right of use but the lessee does not have ownership at the end of the lease(i.e. renting an asset), the new accounting standard requires Company to recognise the lease on the assets and liability on balance sheet. So, at the commencement of lease, based on the contract of rental, the lessee will need to present the contracted rental payment as follows:

• Dr Right of use of asset
• Cr Lease liability

The asset and liability will be slowly reduced when the payment are made, as the company will expense off these expenses to profit and loss (i.e. interest paid, rental expenses/depreciation).

• Dr Lease liability
• Dr Interest paid
• Dr Rental expenses paid
• Cr Cash at bank paid
• Cr Right of use of assets

Recognition of lease

To recognize the right of use and lease liability by:

 Right of use – measured by cost /fair value/ revaluation method

• obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use
• direct the use of the identified asset throughout that period

Lease liability – Lessee needs to recognize on interest of lease liability

• there is an identified asset
• has the rights to all of the economic benefits from that asset
• directs the use of that asset, including how and for what purpose

Exemption

There has two specific exemptions where leases do not need to be reported on balance sheets:

• Leases with a term of 12 months or less with no purchase option
• A lease where the value of the item is low value.

How to compute PCB on BIK or perquisites?

实物利益和额外津贴如何计算PCB?

Situation 1: Benefit-In-Kind (情况1：实物利益)
 

• ABC Sdn Bhd provided motorcar with petrol to his employee – Mr X.
  ABC Sdn Bhd 提供一辆汽车和汽油给员工- Mr X.
   
• The motorcar cost is RM 120,000.00.
  那辆汽车价值是RM 120,000.00.
   
• According to prescribed value method the BIK value is RM 5,000.00 (motorcar) + RM 1,500.00 (petrol) = RM 6,500.00 per annum.
  根据规定的价值方法，实物利益的价值是RM6,500一年 （RM 5,000.00 – 汽车 + RM 1,500.00 – 汽油）
   
• Therefore, we must include the BIK value in monthly PCB calculation. The monthly BIK value is RM 6,500.00 / 12 months = RM 541.67. Then the BIK value of RM 541.67 required to fill under “benefit-in-kind” during the monthly PCB calculation
  因此，我们必须在计算每月的预扣税中填写实物利益的价值。每月实物利益的价值是RM541.67 (RM6,500.00除12个月)

 Situation 2: Perquisites 情况2：额外津贴

• Ms Y received gift from her employer on her birthday.
  Y小姐在生日当天收到老板送的一份礼物。
   
• The gift is LV handbag.
  那份礼物是LV包包。
   
• LV handbag cost RM 6,550.00
  LV包包价值 RM 6,550.00。
  
   
• In this situation, the LV handbag value – RM 6,550.00 should include in the monthly PCB calculation (please refer to diagram 2).
  在这种情况下，LV包包的价值- RM 6,550.00需要填写在每月计算的预扣税中。

公司给员工红包可不可以扣税?

 根据1967年《所得税法令》的第13(1)(a) 条规,员工在工作中所获得的收益或利润的总收入（包括正在进行或有业务的员工所产生的任何工资，薪金，薪酬，休假工资，费用，佣金，奖金，酬金或津贴（无论是金钱还是其他形式））都视为就业收入的一种。

 而员工收到的红包是属于额外津贴并包含在就业收入里。

 根据1967年《所得税法令》的第33(1) 条规，支出或费用的税务减免皆是需为了产生收入。

 因此，公司需要替员工把该收入呈报在年度薪酬表，才能享有该花费的税务减免。
