I've run a Sdn Bhd company since last year. We've 0 employee as me and partner running the business by own. We have steady monthly 5 figure business profit. Now we are planning to have payout from company as we didn't draw a single cent since beginning.

We are in equal share stake 50% - 50%. We're thinking of payout director fees monthly (RM5k for each person), as it can be exempted from EPF and Sosco at this moment.

I would like to ask expert what is the pros and cons for redrawing monthly director fees compare to salary in term during application of finance facility(house loan/car loan)?

both no difference. Both must be reported to LHDN and as such will be reflected in your LHDN B form. if you require financing, one of the document asked by the loan officer is your B form.

In simple word, whether director fee or salary is only different in name, the tax treatment is the same.
With regards to not participating from KWSP and Socso, unwise move as these cash outflow can are legitimate tax expense.

If Form B still not out yet, if bank officer, they will ask you for your previous income tax return. If you are a noob and only started to work, they may ask for a guarantor like your daddy.

Insurance Saving Plans only allow you to tax relief personal portion, not the business portion. KWSP allows both personal and business tax relied. Oops, you mean the insurance agent did not inform you of this whistling.gif ?

My personal financial planning is to avoid the insurance saving plan and buy instead medical and claim the medical portion tax relief.

Thanks Xuzen. The saving plan I have it way back since 2011. So that time I still working hence insurance agent didn't explain much on the business portion.

Thanks for your input on the tax relief for business. Will check that out.
