hi people, i want to attend p6 and p7 revision class. Any recommendation?

I hope somebody can help me out here.

In terms of broadband connection provided to employees,
is it tax deductible to the employer?

I do understand that if the broadband connection is given to employees,
it is tax deductible, but is it deductible to the employer as well?

Hi, guys. I am new to here. I have some problem about ACCA P paper.
I plan to take P4 in my next sem, but may i know which lecturer is better?

I heard that Daniel Ho is quite excellent in teaching this paper, however, most of his class is in the night and mostly part time.
So, is there any institution for P4 teaching by him is in the morning or afternoon class?

Or is there any lecturer also teaches well in P4?

Besides, do you guys have any comment about P4 and P7, i am struggling of picking one out of these two paper actually. I found that F8 audit is hard, so dont have confident enough to take P7.

Thanks!

Hi all, I'm new here and seeking advice on F6 Taxation (MYS) - part time study.

1. Which lecturer(s) is recommended for this paper in KL/PJ area?
2. Which lecturer(s) is the local examiner?
3. Where to attend Dr. Choong Kwai Fatt's classes (IRC), if any?

So far the 3 names I found are: Alan Yeo (KSA), Siva Nair (FTMS) & Assoc.Prof Faridah (Uitm, guest lecturer in INTI). Any comments?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

To all Sunway P2 students,

Ok i know this is a long shot but i didnt get pass p2 the last sitting. So i am wondering if anyone is sitting for P2 class and maybe can assist me in updating my notes. I can provide you answers for group accounts and others.
If anyone is interested, maybe we can meet up during weekends after class or any weekdays at night and discuss about the paper.

Send me a PM if you are interested.

Once you're professionally qualified, who cares abt the Uni degree. It's the prof qualification that distinguish a qualified & non-qualified person.
Nowadays Uni degree is no big deal, almost everybody has one. Time has changed unlike 20 years ago whereby a Uni degree was a big thing.

How much is the f paper exam fees now?

yup, bcoz it is for employee benefit, not sure whether this year budget has changed anot, but should be the same i think...

u came here ask for tax advice, so smart

76 pounds if not mistaken, bcoz i remembered i save 7 pounds for each paper when i registered..

y u so late

p6- Low Chin Ann, he explains tax in detailed using a lot of examples
p7- Sheila, famous lecturer for p7 currently.

1. Alan Yeo, Low Chin Ann, Siva Nair
2. I was told that, once a lecturer becomes an examiner, he couldn't teach that paper anymore. Alan Yeo was offered to be P6 examiner before but he turned down the offer.
3. maybe KDU or Segi or TARC? not sure until further info. provided by students. and last sem, Dr. Choong Kwai Fatt only conducted IRC for P6.

can anyone tell me since when did Bob Ryan started being an examiner for P4? I want to try the questions before he started being an examiner.

I believe it's December 2010. Bob Ryan did mention that certain period of past year questions are not applicable as well.

not sure since when he became the examiner of P4, just know he's been the examiner for P4 for so so so many years.


the current P4 examiner is Shishir Malde who said some past year questions are not applicable

Oh yes sorry about that, thanks for the reminder.....

That means Bob Ryan's questions are not relevant for the recent exams I believe.

I think you are referring to company taxation?

Most operating expenses are tax deductible except capital expenditure where you get allowances.

Marketing/entertainment expenses is an example whereby i think you can only deduct a specific portion. Hence adding
back to the tax computation.

The question here is if you can obtain double deduction for broadband; I have no idea as I haven't been
following the budget closely.

An example of double deduction would be for 'Halal' certification.

For employees i think you are refering to personal taxation.

Personal taxation for the past assessment, broadband was tax relieved up to MYR500.

For more information, you can visit www.hasil.gov.my

Hope someone here can help clarify. TQ

Added on September 26, 2011, 6:56 pmMy take on your statement.

I think your statement here requires a little revision. 20-30 years ago the number of graduates in MYS is low as compared to the present therefore
what you say is true in some regards.

The number of graduates from reputable university has also increase but not in the proportion with non-reputable institutions. How many
Oxford or Harvard graduates in our current workforce as compared to 20-30 years ago?

The status quo for todays employment is not just a university degree; it has specific requirements on reputation and also academic achievement
(i.e. a minumum of second-upper).

The workforce will still take into consideration your university qualification with specific emphasis.

Most profesional bodies requires university degrees to qualify as a professional. Professions such as medicine, engineering, law still require
university degrees as prerequisites for membership.

ACCA is a special case whereby this does not apply.

Therefore i find your statement misleading in the aspects mentioned.

Added on September 26, 2011, 7:05 pmFrom personal experience, I would like to add that the conduct of the admin staff is really unprofesional and unmannered.

They forget that they are a private institution whereby their students are also their customers.

The specifics of my experience will not be disclose due to privacy concerns but its no less than an ordeal.

Added on September 26, 2011, 7:07 pmHow so? Most professions require a subscription/membership fee. There must be some cost for overall administration and coordination of the institute and the profession. Unless most of the work is done on a voluntary basis but normally if its on this basis; the work provided would usually be on a periodic basis.
You wouldn't want to call for support and there is no support on the other end.

Can I pay acca exam fees online with debit card?
It's 76 pounds for f papers rite?

I used to think that too. But I realised that CFA does not require it's candidates to pay the membership fee until after you claim membership. The same cannot be said with ACCA. They require students to pay membership fee annually as well as the affiliates.

I am unsure of the administration of the other professional bodies out there.

can, as long as there is Visa/Mastercard logo on ur debit card.
yes, 76 pounds for F papers in Dec 2011 sitting.
the bank will 1st charge u the higher exchange rate, after 3 days, the bank will most probably credit back the extra amount they've charged you into ur account.

i can only got 1 person edc for my P6 which lecturer is the best?? does anybody have Low Chin Ann edc timetable?? is edc sufficient??
