Hi guys..
I have this questions:

I have just embarked on a sole proprietor business in Malaysia. I have a few questions which I hope some of the experts out there can help to answer:
1) What are the tax forms that I would need to fill up next year?
2) What are the type of deductions that I can use as my business expenditure? Can I use:
i) Housing loan - I'm using my current house as the business premise
ii) Car loan - I'm using my current car as my business mode of transport (to deliver the goods). What if the car i already bought earlier?
iii) Parking tickets, petrol and tolls - I incur all these costs when i deliver the goods
iv) Entertainment - Once in a while, I will have to take my clients out for dinner.
v) Any other things that's considered as business expenditure? (Electricity, water bill)?
*
1) Form B, due date 30 june
2)i) - apportion out the INTEREST only. eg. your house has 3 rooms, ur business assume to use 1 room. so its 1/3, it depends how you explain to the tax officer. paying rental, messy because its another source of income and another set of computation need to show tax officer when they audit you.
ii) Messy, unless you get yourself and accountant or tax agent. because of the hire purchase, CA claim rules etc etc.
iii) Parketing ticket = as other forumer said, identify them, then its 100%. if you are lazy to do so, just claim 2/3 of it as business use, 1/3 as personal use. same goes to toll.
as for petrol, sorry to say theres no 100% for you, max 2/3 is for business 1/3 for personal use. IN ADDITION, you can add in upkeep for your car, well same 2/3 biz use 1/3 personal rules apply too.
iv) this 1 ar....to be safe, dont add lor.... if you really want then 50% max, dont 100%... because entertainment is too general in the eye of LHDN.
v) yes, electricity bill of your house. but same rules apply here, apportion according to % as your rental or loan interest.

If i work few month last year as employee from other company and few month in sole proprietorship.

as long as you have business income, you are consider Form B and due date 30th June. if you are doing E-filing is easier since all you need to do is click on Form B instead of getting the physical form B

hi klthor
I have just submitted the form B for 2013 and just found out that there is some sort of "capital allowance" relief but I did not include it. Please tell me more how to calculate and can I claim these relief in. 2014?

Thanks

too bad to hear tat, capital allowance would be CA. as i have mention, if ur asset is under hire purchase i would advice u to get an tax agent or accountant becoz it is very messy to calculate CA for under HP.

if u know how depreciation works, CA is actually the same thing but the % is fixed by LHDN and an additional initial allowance (IA) 20% for almost every class of assets.

for example, computer annual allowance(AA) is 40%, you buy a pc for 4k

1st year total CA = IA 20% + AA 40%
4k x 20% = 800
4k x 40% = 1600
total year 1 CA = 2400

2nd year total CA = AA 40% only, no more IA
so its
4k x 40% = 1600

so ur accumulated CA claim = 4k for second year and fully claimed ur CA for ur computer.


**** there are certain rules applies to motor vehicle and property can not claim CA unless u r a manufacturer.

hi Klthor,

Thank you very much for your reply. So, as mentioned I have missed out the 2013 CA claim. Means I have not fully claim, so can I claim it in 2014?

Beside PC where can I get the information how much AA for other asset. Ex. Office equipment, furniture and fittings etc.

hope u don't mind me long winded .

Thanks again!

i have never deal with tax which miss the CA 1st year, however u can still claim it in subsequent years but NOT 2013 CA + 2014 CA, its just a delay meaning u will fully claim ur CA one year later.

as for the rates, i suppose u can obtain them from LHDN website. but generally other than computer equipment, most of the asset AA is 20%. besides, u have to be careful when claiming CA not all assets can claim CA. i will just point out a few, things like renovation will be tricky as well as motor vehicle and motor vehicle on hire purchase will be tricky too, and property eg. shoplot is not qualified to claim.
