Yes prolly still have to

the best to get a good accountant who always declare for his customer to do it for you .

Keep all resit , anything also can put under cash expenses , i didnt know bout this until recently i have to declare income tax for buying house
seems like i can declare alot so i wont be paying alot of sum towards LHDN !

If the rental is non-business source, then you cannot claim losses or carry forward for offset in future years. Also there is no column to fill in negative numbers in e-filing for other income

Not “anything” can put under allowable expenses. Only limited expenses as determined by LHDN. You better be careful, as you may be penalized and have to pay hefty penalty if you simply claim expenses. LHDN is never friendly to people who claim money from them biggrin.gif

Refer to PR4/2011 for reference. http://lampiran1.hasil.gov.my/pdf/pdfam/PR4_2011.pdf

1) buy transport for business
2) staff leisure , food , etc
3) shop equipment renovation , machines etc
4) salary staff / director
5) printing accessories
6) petrol toll touchngo
7) advertisement , rental , bills
and few more

You are talking about expenses related to a business. If your rental is considered a business source, Eg renting out a building like office tower or shopping centre, then it is a business source, you can claim those expenses you listed. Usually the business is run as a Sdn Bhd

However, for the masses who have properties under their personal name, the above expenses are not claimable because it is considered a non-business source

A lot of details and different treatment in relation to rental income in the Public Ruling 4/2011 I linked above. Including how to determine rental income is a business and non-business source

Yes ! thumbup.gif

That is on rental income of residential properties and applies to each single property a landlord has. Meaning if my rental income per house is RM1800 per month, then my actual reported rental income for tax purpose is only RM900 x 12 = RM10,800. If my tax rate is say, 24%, then my tax savings is ~RM2.6k per property per year

If I have say 3 properties, I "save" ~RM7.8k ! Can buy new Iphone XI plus a Samsung Note 9

But on the expenses side, still no change. Cannot simply claim

The purpose of the above tax incentive is "to encourage landlord to rent out residential homes at a reasonable rate to allow more affordable housing to be made available". Very naive thinking by Ah Jib biggrin.gif Anyway, it is good for the landlord only, I doubt tenants will benefit from the tax incentive by cheaper rental

Sometimes I wonder why I still vote opposition. The current government is so good to us. Whereas if opposition becomes the government, they will be more left wing and socialist programmes. Which means skewed tax rate on the richer society (like UK, USA, Australia up to 49% tax), inheritance tax, luxury car tax, luxury goods tax (eg LV bags, AP watches) etc

Oh man thanks for the input

maybe thats what he meant , any resit but claim under business related spending

Not “any resit” also can claim even for business.

Be careful on entertainment, traveling, car, director’s expenses, BIK....

I am sure your accountant with experience will advise you on the proper way. Just don’t assume “everything” can claim even if it is under a business

I just submitted to the account person

Directors expenses and car repair resit also he asked , and since i asked why he told me that can be declared under directors cash expenses ?

Bro, here is rental income tax discussion. Wrong thread to discuss. There is a income tax thread in the sticky you can post your questions there

Anyway, not saying it cannot be claimed, just there are restrictions and proper ways to declare, and also BIK issues

You can post your questions in the income tax thread and get response from tax experts

Dear Sifu,

If SPA under joint name A & B,
loan under name A only [loan interest for the particular year RM5000 (example) ]
rental agreement under name A only and annual rental collect RM10000 (example)

Case study:

Total deductible rental income let say RM2000 (cukai pintu, Tanah etc) + RM5000 (interest) = RM7000

when filing rental income, If both A & B have file separately, both also need to declare rental income even if rental agreement under name A only (correct me if I am wrong).

Mr A need to declare rental income : ( RM10000 - RM7000 ) / 2 = RM1500

How about Mr B  ? :

1) Mr B need to declare ( RM10000 - RM2000 ) / 2 = RM4000 (Because loan only under Mr A) , or
2) Mr B need to declare ( RM10000 - RM7000 ) / 2 = RM1500 ?

Thank in advance

Never a sifu.... sweat.gif

Calculation 2 is correct. Each declare RM1500 rental income respectively.

Rental income is apportioned based on the % of ownership. Not according to name in rental agreement (for practicality purpose because tenant don't usually bank in monthly rental for 2 person)

As long as the property is pledged for the bank loan, then the interest is allowable to offset against the income. Although the loan in under A only, B also can claim. Ie. calculate the overall rental income less all expenses, then declare the income based on % of ownership

Thank you so much for the advice.

As for the madam leong case you share above, regarding the refinance matter. How if:

Madam Leong refinance again to another bank with loan amount RM1.8 million, how to calculate the loan interest for the rental tax deduction ?

Madam Leong previously refinance from bank A to bank B with loan balance from RM1.0 million to RM1.3million, now with bank C RM1.8million.

Which is correct for loan interest deduction ?:

1) 1.0 mil / 1.8 mil x loan interest from bank C or

2) 1.3 mil / 1.8 mil x loan interest from bank C

Thanks in advance

Knowing LHDN does not intend to lose tax revenue, their calculation will be :

The balance of 1st loan at time of 2nd refinancing / 1.8 mil x loan interest from bank c

Ie. Should be lesser than 1.0 million because, assuming there is no refinancing at all, the monthly installation will reduce the principal amount, hence interest expense should reduce accordingly.

I think the main criteria hold by LHDN will be always use the original financing amount an investor needed at the time of buying the property. The interest expense incurred for this original financing amount will be allowable.

You cannot keep on re-financing say, every 10 years and claim interest expense indefinitely biggrin.gif

The safest and to avoid possible penalty, it is best to keep the repayment schedule of the 1st loan and use the balance principal at the time of refinancing for income tax computation

However, I am not sure how many people will follow this way sweat.gif
