yes, one of the condition of SMC being, ...paid-up capital in respect of ordinary shares..., which sole proprietor will not be qualified
u r correct in terms of the application, the small value assets in excess of RM 20,000 will still be qualified under normal IA + CA
(e.g. 11 ICT of RM 1,999 each --> RM 19,990 at accelerated IA + AA while RM 1,999 under normal IA+AA)
but should be IA 40% + AA 20% from YA2024
INCOME TAX (ACCELERATED CAPITAL ALLOWANCE) (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT) RULES 2024
registration fee will be regarded as initial expense/capital in nature which is not tax deductible; renewal fee should be eligible
referring to dialogue with IRB, page 25 of the PDF
although it is an age-old document, the concept should still apply
though the challenging part would be the 'reasonable basis of apportionment'
Thanks for you help. I have submitted e-filing. Only regret is not enough business expense to deduct. Now I know why taukeys change car yearly, change latest iphone pro max, etc like changing underwear. All purposely done to reduce tax payable.u r correct in terms of the application, the small value assets in excess of RM 20,000 will still be qualified under normal IA + CA

Question:
1. For sole prop, if I take online courses and certifications (e.g. udemy, coursera, it certifications, etc), can these be considered as business expense (if not 100%, maybe 50% ?) . It is reasonable that I am taking these to be able to improve skill needed for the business, but LHDN officer can also argue that it is personal expense.
I guess this depends on luck and how it is justified. Seeing how taukeys claim their eating out, leisure as entertainment expenses. I think that my reason should be reasonable.
