ello...wan to ask smtg bout p6/f6

the interest is taxed when it is received?
Added on March 14, 2012, 9:46 amfor interest income exempt for individual under Para 35 Sch 6/ Para 35A Sch 6
the individual means sole proprietor and single individual or does it include individual from partnership as well?
both principal and interest are deductible for lease rental, just that the principal portion is subjected to some restrictions. the exam question is most likely referring to a non-commercial motor vehicle (MV).
MV principal less than 100k will be fully deductible
MV principal in between 100-150k will be restricted to 100k maximum
MV principal more than 150k will be restricted to 50k maximum
deduction is on payment basis (cash basis) means you pay in this financial period then deduct in this financial period.
hire purchase and finance lease are different in actual fact but for your f6/p6 knowledge, you just need to know that the above 3 restrictions still apply for MV. the principal paid will be able to claim capital allowance (CA), interest is charged to P & L and deductible (no adjustment).
lease rental, hire purchase and finance lease are all cash outflow in return of use/ownership of assets, definitely not receivable
individual includes biz and non biz owners means sole proprietorships, partners of partnership, employment income earners and individual with other incomes
