Questions to fellow business owners, it's been bugging me as of late with the multiple policy changes on LHDN side that it's making me pause to consider getting my company accounts in order. Atm I have an outsourced accountant but I don't think she is expert in tax deductions & minimizing the taxes I pay per year. So if my company was to kena audit by lhdn, I doubt she be affective.

If i were to get a tax agent from a legit accounting company, what will they be asking and do their charge a one off audit basis or I have to engage them every month making my accountant redundant?

my boss kena 80k for 3 years. LHDN  reject a lot of expense claim

We at first kena demanded 200k . Find tax expert. Reduce to 80k. 20% downpayment. Rest on 3 year installment lmao

Tax expert say by right those expense can claim but we didnt word them properly. Our accountant accept but LHDN reject

tax agent is not to audit your company.

For auditing, it is auditors' duties.

PLT is not required to have its financial statements audited but you can do so for compliances and internal control.

Get a qualified accountants lah. Our forum ada banyak.

If i want someone to cross check my accountant I should get another accountant to check her work? Is this what you are saying?

yes, or the accountant who has knowledge in auditing and taxation planning

Some accountant firm does have audit department and they do offer this service as well. It is called review work with tax consultancy as well.

but if you do this way, the current accountant will be hurt. You need to overcome to handle his/her mind/heart.  rclxs0.gif

Ah shit. This is exactly what I'm trying not to let happen. This accountant stuck with me post covid and charges 1.5k a month and never changed her pricing.

Ya so for us. We go makan with customer, can only claim 50% but our accountant let us claim 100%. She suppose to cover our track by claiming staff refreshement  but didnt

So 1 aspect kantoi with LHDN. Another was tinting of company car. Not allowed also as expense

But something need to be smart. Like headcount of ur clinic maybe 3 pax. u claim makan with client for 10 pax ,LHDN will straight kantoi de

Get a tax consultant to file for your PLT tax, then ask them advise how to minimize the tax. The fee normally charge one off for every year tax filing.
It depends on your business nature, hardly clinic bring customer (patient) out to makan. More reasonable to put makan with medicine/medical equipment supplier and claim 50% of it.

Correct. That's the industry norm
