Question to ask LHDN

Since cannot claim or deduct car loan repayment, does the car qualify as capital asset that to be claim capital allowance, like company?

Nope, because you are a self employed individual, not a company. biggrin.gif

Lel....not fair ranting.gif

can I say, I create a company where the company own the car, I sewa the car, back to back to the car loan. Then, ask Grab to instead of pay me, pay to the company. Then, I can claim capital allowance for the car lor, plus whatever expenses associated with Grabbing charge into the company. Then, the company pay me salary/ fees or whatever u want to call it lah, after deducting all the expenses. Then, from there, I also got my personal allowance.

Can or not? whistling.gif

Use back your example

TOTAL REVENUE COLLECTED = RM30k
TOTAL COMMISSION PAID TO GRAB = RM6k

GROSS PROFIT = RM30k - RM6k = RM24K

PETROL = 9K
MAINTENANCE = 5K
INTEREST ON CAR LOAN = 1K
CAR INSURANCE = 1K
CAPITAL ALLOWANCE = 20K

NET LOSS = [SALARY (for part timer drivers that have a job) + GROSS PROFIT] - TOTAL EXPENDITURE = (RM0 + RM24k) - RM16K - 20K = RM12K aka No tax

Don't think Grab allows companies to register at this point biggrin.gif since their plan for regulation also tailored to individuals (eg: applying EKP and EVP on driver's behalf, source = https://www.grab.com/my/blog/driver/pursuin...ations-part-3/). So, unlikely they will allow this.

You will also need to report tax as a business anyway, so that's more works to do, not to mention the cost of running a Sdn Bhd biggrin.gif
