We know that starting from 2014 , those with income more than RM 3060 /month need to pay for income tax. Suppose that some one is self-employed, how do he/she use this advantage to exempt himself/herself from income tax ? For example, the actual monthly income he/she get from company is RM3500, but he/she reported income of less than RM 3000. I know that we can do this by classifying the rest of the RM 500 as allowance. But, as we know there is limit for allowance, for example traveling allowance can only be maximum of RM 2400 / year. Other than that, is there any other method?

put 0 income, and claim everything from company. make company pay tax but declare company always losing money.

Suppose the company is a listed company, company gain profit every year. So, we need to look for a win-win situation where company can exempt from tax and at the same time the personal also can exempt from tax. I could only think about allowance. Traveling allowance, parking allowance and meal allowance. I know that the limit for traveling allowance is RM 2400 /year. How about the parking and meal allowance? Anyone know what is the limit for that? Thanks

Can't recall where I heard it from, but getting paid in the form of stocks will not attract tax. Anyone can confirm if that is correct?

meal allowance?
meal allowance no limit, but must make sense. Like maybe rm200-500 a month.
this is what i was told by another forummer.

Pay as what you earned, this will do well than harm. Maybe you suffer now but enjoys (loans approvals) in the future. Maybe later you will ask why loans is good? I reserved the answer for the investments expert to comment(s)

TS, All your problems would go away by just hiring an accountant to help you on the tax planning.
Why penny wise and pound foolish and try to do everything yourself?

Can't elaborate further nivota as I don't own a company. But that's on the basis of what I've learnt so far from people who do own their own "shell" companies.
