常见问题

审计与鉴证

即:按时间计费与按价值计费。

(一)按时间计费
按时间计费的前提是假设所有信息与知识对所有客户而言具有相同的价值。同时,此方式往往低估了为妥善完成一项工作所需的研究投入,以及事务所长期累积的专业知识价值。

(二)按价值计费
按价值计费则充分考虑执业者在执行工作时所运用的专业知识与技能,以及其所需作出的专业判断。同时,客户所获得的价值,无论是功能性价值或情感性价值,均应体现在一项公平合理的应付费用之中。
如何降低公司的审计费用?

1. 聘请专业且具备经验的会计人员/会计师
需要特别强调的是,效率低下或专业能力不足的会计人员往往会大幅推高审计费用。例如,延迟回复审计师的询问或资料请求,或交易记录方式不当,都会增加审计时间与成本。因此,公司拥有一名具备专业资格及丰富相关经验的会计人员至关重要。

2. 与审计师保持透明且积极的沟通
对于任何您认为审计师应知悉的问题,应坦诚并如实告知。彼此之间的相互尊重,有助于确保审计过程高效且顺利。各层级之间的及时沟通,可确保所有相关方对审计进度有一致的认知,从而提高整体效率。

3. 全年保持良好的组织与准备工作
妥善整理账目资料,并准备适当的会计明细表及每月对账。根据审计师提出的建议及时采取行动,以改善公司的内部控制。完善的内部控制可减少审计程序及所需时间,从而有效降低审计费用。

4. 确保审计采用自上而下的方法
审计师需要从整体角度了解公司的财务状况。若仅从试算表或子公司层级开始审计,可能导致过度审计,尤其是在合并财务报表中。因此,应确保审计师能够从合并层面的总体数据入手,再向下进行分析。

5. 处理复杂及非经常性交易
建议就复杂或非经常性交易提前咨询审计师。例如企业并购、终止经营业务或其他重大且不常见的交易。于交易发生时即让审计师参与,可减少审计时间及年终出现意外问题的风险。

6. 快速回应审计师的要求
延迟回应审计师的资料请求或询问,会拉长审计周期并不可避免地增加审计费用。迅速回应并事先准备好相关文件,有助于提升审计效率并降低成本。

7. 进行内部自我审计
在审计师正式进场前进行内部自我审计,可让公司有机会提前纠正部分错误。重点关注高风险领域及高金额项目,可减少后续审计程序,从而有助于降低审计费用。

8. 准备年度摘要报告
以备忘录形式向审计师提交年度摘要,列明年度内发生的重大及新增事项、人事或公司架构变动,以及对收入、费用、资产及负债的差异分析与说明,将有助于审计师更有效地规划及执行审计工作。

9. 将审计师视为合作伙伴
应将审计师视为公司的合作伙伴。除了审计工作外,也可借机与审计师讨论税务合规、业务策略、绩效衡量等相关议题。一项有效的审计应能为公司带来附加价值。

10. 着眼于长期合作
频繁更换审计师往往是最昂贵的商业决策之一,并极可能导致审计费用上升。投入时间选择一家与公司“契合”的审计事务所,不仅有助于长期降低审计费用,也能提升营运效率并通过成本控制改善公司的整体表现。
可以。公司注册局(SSM/CCM)已根据 《2016 年公司法令》第 267(2) 条,对符合特定条件的私人有限公司实施 审计豁免。
该审计豁免适用于符合资格条件的私人公司,相关资格标准已载明于 2017 年 8 月 4 日发布的《实务指引第 3 号》(Practice Directive No. 3 of 2017) 中。

尽管公司注册官所发布的《2017 年第 3 号实务指引》另有规定,凡符合审计豁免资格的公司,若在某一财政年度内收到以下任何一方以书面形式发出的要求进行审计的通知(且该通知须不迟于该财政年度结束前一个月发出),则该公司仍须对其账目进行审计:

凡选择适用审计豁免的公司,仍须依照《2016 年公司法令》第 258 条及第 259 条的规定,向公司注册局提交未经审计的财务报表,并随附所要求的相关文件。
凡符合条件的私人公司,其审计豁免将适用于自《2017 年第 3 号实务指引》(Practice Directive 3/2017)中所列明日期或之后开始的会计年度之财务报表。

适用于自 2018 年 7 月 1 日 起开始的会计期间;不进行审计的选择将适用于 截至 2019 年 6 月 30 日 的财政年度。
进行财务报表审计的原因包括:

a. 全面的经营概览
通过对公司财务报表进行审计,您可以全面了解企业的整体运作情况,并识别公司最为稳健的领域。这样可减少在稳健领域所耗费的时间,将资源集中于较薄弱的环节,从而全面提升公司的经营绩效。

b. 提供额外视角以确保遵守法律与法规
审计有助于确保财务报表全面符合相关法律与法规要求。若公司内部制度存在重大缺陷,审计师亦会提供有建设性的建议。及早进行审计,可能成为公司未来发展壮大或陷入困境的关键差异。

c. 提升信用评级与可信度
当银行能够明确确认公司具备偿还贷款的能力时,获得贷款批准的机会将大大提高。就投资者而言,对财务报表的信心提升,将有助于其持续支持公司的发展。

d. 提供更高的可靠性
审计可提高财务报表的可靠性,并为企业运作按计划进行提供合理保证,同时协助税务机关在评估公司税务或其他相关事项时,能够依赖经审计的财务报表作出判断。

e. 明确公司未来发展方向
通过审计,管理层可更清楚地了解公司需要改进的领域,以及哪些业务流程运作顺畅。审计促使管理层对现有内部控制进行更深入的检视与加强,以防止看似微小的错误对公司造成重大影响。

f. 促进问责制并推动整体绩效提升
审计有助于提升公司管理层及员工的责任意识,使员工更加重视可靠的会计记录与管理实践。通过纠正自身工作的不足,员工可持续提升工作质量,为公司未来的发展奠定更稳固的基础。
根据第 248(1)(a) 条文,董事须在公司成立之日起 18 个月内编制经审计的财务报表。根据第 258(1)(a) 条文,私人有限公司(Sdn Bhd)的财务报表须在财政年度结束后六(6)个月内进行传阅。《公司法令》并未规定首套财务报表必须在公司成立之日起 18 个月内完成传阅。
是的,对于私人有限公司的首套财务报表,必须在公司成立后 18 个月内完成编制,但可在超过 18 个月后才进行传阅,前提是传阅须在财政年度结束后的六(6)个月内完成。

公司所得税 - (h) 投资控股公司 (IHC)

投资控股公司(IHC) 是指一家公司的主要业务为投资控股,且其 不少于 80% 的总收入(不包括来自投资控股业务来源的总收入,无论该收入是否已实现)是源自其所持有的投资。
投资控股业务是指一项不动产租赁业务,其中公司在任何一个年度内,负责决定并提供与该物业相关的维护或支持服务(包括全面且积极的管理与服务)。
投资控股公司的税务处理取决于该投资控股公司是否在马来西亚交易所上市。相关的特别税务规定如下:

● 《1967 年所得税法令》第 60F 条:适用于未在马来西亚交易所上市的投资控股公司;以及
● 《1967 年所得税法令》第 60FA 条:适用于在马来西亚交易所上市的投资控股公司。

公司所得税 - (g) 转让定价

转让定价是指在跨国企业集团内部,不同关联企业之间就商品、服务及无形资产转移所采用的定价机制。转让定价交易可发生于跨国公司与其子公司之间,无论是在同一国家内(本地转让定价),或跨国进行(跨境转让定价)。
此类交易通常被称为 受控交易或 关联交易。

母公司向子公司销售产品所采用的价格,可能与向独立第三方销售的价格不同,该销售价格即称为 转让价格。

根据 经济合作与发展组织(OECD)《所得与资本税收协定范本》第 9 条 的定义,关联公司包括:

一家公司直接或间接参与另一家公司的管理、控制或资本;或

两家公司受同一方控制。

此外,根据 《1967 年所得税法令》(ITA 1967)第 139 条 的规定,“控制”是指对公司具有直接或间接的控制权。该控制权可通过持股比例、表决权、公司章程所赋予的权力,或其他与公司相关的文件而取得。
当关联的跨国公司之间发生交易,且其中一方须缴纳马来西亚税务、另一方须缴纳外国税务时,马来西亚内陆税收局(IRBM)的转让定价指南即适用。该指南是依据经济合作与发展组织(OECD)《跨国企业与税务机关转让定价指南》中所阐述的“独立交易原则”(Arm’s Length Principle)而制定的。
独立交易原则 是处理转让定价问题的一项国际标准,该原则载于 经济合作与发展组织(OECD)《税收协定范本》第 9 条。
该条文阐述了一项基本原则,即关联企业在进行交易时,应将其所控制的各项业务视为彼此独立的公司,并按照独立企业之间的交易方式进行处理。

公司所得税 - (b) 开业前的费用

一般而言,个人或公司在业务开始前或营业前所产生的费用,通常不允许从营业总收入中扣除,因为该等支出并非在产生该收入过程中直接或完全发生。

然而,《1967 年所得税法令》(ITA 1967)附表 4B 以及财政部长所发布的相关条例,包括 PU(A) 61/1992、PU(A) 111/1995、PU(A) 160/1996、PU(A) 475/2003、PU(A) 472/2005、PU(A) 135/2006、PU(A) 65/2007、PU(A) 361/2008、PU(A) 401/2009 及 PU(A) 76/2012,则授权在特定情况下,对在业务或营运开始前所发生的某些费用给予税务扣除。

公司所得税——(a)营业总收入

企业总收入是指因销售存货或提供服务而从交易中收到或应收的款项。

在确定哪些收入可被视为或应计入企业总收入时,应参阅 《1967 年所得税法令》(ITA 1967) 的相关条文,包括 第 12 条(并须与第 3 条一并解读)、第 22 条、第 24 条、第 28 条及第 30 条,以判断其收入性质、目的及确认标准。
企业的税务并非以营业总收入为征税基础,而是依据《1967 年所得税法令》(ITA 1967)第 4(a) 段所规定,对企业所取得的利润或收益征税。

企业的利润或收益,是指在营业总收入中扣除所有可获准扣除的费用后所剩余的金额。
根据《1967 年所得税法令》(ITA 1967)第 2 条的解释,业务包括专业活动、勘探及贸易,以及任何制造业、商业或与贸易相关的活动,但不包括受雇佣关系下的工作。

第 2(1) 款对“业务”作出了广义的定义,强调在判断某项交易是否构成业务时,须视该交易的目的或动机而定。若某项交易具备贸易性质或呈现出贸易模式,则该交易可被视为一项业务活动。

缴纳所得税

To determine the exact tax amount, a comparison must be made between the amount of the Monthly Tax Deduction (PCB) deducted and the tax payable. If the PCB paid is insufficient, then the amount of the difference (i.e. between the amount of the PCB and the tax payable) must be paid to the IRBM.
There are three (3) payment methods: -

a) Online through the ByrHasil app: https://byrhasil.hasil.gov.my/ Payment via internet banking with FPX member banks. This service uses FPX as a Gateway for taxpayers. Users need to have an internet banking account with any bank participating in FPX. Payment via VISA, Mastercard and American Express credit cards issued in Malaysia.

The PCB is a tax deduction based on the PCB Schedule on remuneration of eligible employees and is remitted to the IRBM on a monthly basis, while the CP38 deduction is only possible if the IRBM has issued specific instructions to employers to make deductions for certain amounts during certain months. CP38 deduction is to settle the outstanding tax while PCB is for tax for the current year of assessment.
The employer is responsible for making payment of the CP38 Deduction Order. Payment must be made in conjunction with the PCB but the employer must separate the payment amount in accordance with PCB and CP38 columns provided in Form CP39.
Please submit a CP502 form attached with the CP500 notice that has been sent to the taxpayer. The application for amendment of the installment payment must be made no later than June 30th of the year. Please submit an application to the IRBM branch where your income tax file is kept.
Late payment of the remaining 10% tax will be charged on the unpaid amount after April 30 of the year following the assessment year. If you still fail to pay the taxes and penalties imposed within 60 days from the date of the penalty, an additional 5% penalty will be imposed on the amount due.

私人退休计划

Yes, you are. The tax relief for this scheme contribution is effective for 10 years from the Year of Assessment 2012 to the Year of Assessment 2021. The exemption is limited to a maximum claim of RM 3000 for each Assessment Year.
You are entitled to a claim of RM 450 x 2 months = RM 900 only for the Year of Assessment 2012. Beginning with the Year of Assessment 2013, the amount of contribution per year is RM 5400 (RM 450 x12 months) but claims are limited to RM 3000 only. The amount contributed by the employer is not taken into account in determining the amount of the relief.
Income received by this private retirement scheme is exempted from tax under paragraph 20, Schedule 6 of ITA 1967.
Effective January 01, 2013, contributors will be subject to a final tax rate of 8% on early withdrawal before reaching the age of 55. This provision does not apply to expenditures caused by death or contributors leaving Malaysia permanently ( leaving permanently) .
Contributors will be subject to a final tax of RM 2400 (RM 30000 x 8%).
PRS providers ( private retirement schemes) need to deduct tax by 8% and remit to KPHDN within 1 month after making payment to you.
If the PRS provider has made the payment to the recipient without deducting the final tax of 8% and is willing to pay the final tax itself to KPHDN, then the PRS provider may recover the final tax amount from you.
PRS Providers refer to providers approved under section 139Q of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007. Please refer to the Securities Commission Malaysia website for more information.

个人所得税(包括企业主)

One of the benefits of hiring a tax consultant is a guidance on the scope of tax and the expenses that are available for tax deduction, specific deduction and double deduction, which are applicable to business owners who fill in Form B and Form P.

Furthermore, you should gain maximum benefit from tax allowances and incentives, save time by letting tax consultants manage tax-related matters under the self assessment regime like computing tax, keeping accounting records on business for seven years, as well as paying the installments on tax estimates to the IRB.

Secondly, you can avoid or minimize tax penalties arising out of non-compliance with the tax laws and can capitalize on tax planning to minimize your tax liability.

Thirdly and also the key consideration would be the tax savings and costs to hire a tax consultant.

Generally, the fees range from RM 350 to RM 1,500 (excluding the bookkeeping fees, out-of pocket expenses, GST/service tax, applicable to individuals who have business income and are required to file Form P & Form B). It is important to note that the fee of having a professional prepare a statutory income tax return would depend on the type of income tax return forms, such as whether one is under employment or is an individual businessman, and the complexity of each case.If your income is derived from an employment source, it is very straightforward that you just use your chargeable income to deduct your tax reliefs. You may risk not doing a 100% accurate job, but if your tax savings are just a few hundred ringgit, it is difficult to justify the consultant’s fees.

However, if you own numerous properties, receive rental income and own business, your case becomes complicated. It would make more sense for you to look into hiring a personal tax consultant.
Yes you need to register an Income Tax Number if you fulfill one of the following:-

● Single status individuals earning over RM34,001 per year (after EPF deduction)

● e-Data PCB is for use by employers with computerized pay systems. Employers will need to register as a user to allow employers to review the format and upload the CP39 text file online. This system helps employers send employees PCB data according to the specification and make payment. Employers can make payments either online or at the bank.
