Tax–Savvy Investments:

17) Buy property valued below or at RM250000
 Stamp duty must be paid on all property transactions that involve a change of legal ownership.
 Last year’s budget (2008) announced a 50% stamp duty exemption for the purchase of houses that do not exceed RM250000
 The maximum tax savings that can be found here is RM2000 (for a house worth RM250000)
 This exemption is only given for one house per individual & applies to sale & purchase agreement signed between September 2007 & December 2010

18) Buy Similar property
 Similar property can be grouped together for income tax purposes.
 The IRB has indentified categories such as residential, commercial & vacant land.
 If you own two property in the same category, you can reduce the taxable profit made from one property with the loss, if any incurred from the other.
 Property investors are also exempt from real property gains tax for all disposals on or after 1st April 2007.
 However, taxpayers who are trading property–buying & selling in order to generate income–are liable to income tax.
 This exemption is meant for taxpayers who invest in property for a passive income
 Tax deduction: Taxable income received from renting out a property in a particular grouping such as residential can be reduced if a loss was incurred by another property in the same group.

19) Buy shares
 Invest in dividend-yielding shares if your tax bracket is above 26%.
 A new single-tier system was established under the national Budget for dividends received by shareholders.
 Companies pay tax of 26% (YA2008) and shareholders receive a net dividend that is exempt from tax & does not need to be filed with the IRB “Shareholders who fall into higher tax brackets [higher than 26%] are essentially [getting a] saving on the difference.
 The single-tier dividends is intended to simplify the tax filing process for individuals.
 From now on, there is no need to declare or apply for a refund. And as corporate taxes are falling, companies will be able to pass on more profits to their shareholders [in the form of dividends].
 However, not all companies will go under the single-tier system immediately as some of them might have imputation tax credits left, which they can use till 2013.
 Shareholders who receive dividends from companies using the imputation system will have to report the amount received and claim a tax refund if his personal tax rate is lower than the company’s tax rate (27% in YA2007, 26% in YA2006).
 Shareholders can identify the system used by the company as it is stated in the dividend vouchers.
 Tax Deduction: Your tax saving is the difference between your tax bracket & 26% (the corporate tax rate). This is only applicable to dividends given out by companies using the single-tier system.

20) Invest in REITs
 You can go into real estate investment trusts (REITS)if your tax bracket above 15%.
 There are 11 REITs listed on the Main Board.
 The tax on dividends given out by these property-related investments are taxed at 15% as compared to tax on dividend at 26% (under the new single–tier dividend system)
 Only tax brackets exceeding 15% would enjoy some tax savings by investing in REITs
 Since the distributions received by individual taxpayers have been subject to that 15%, the taxpayers are not required to declare the amount in their tax return.
 Tax deduction: Your tax saving is the difference between your personal tax bracket & 15%

Moves for Business Owners:

21) Maintain books and records from Day 1
 Keep separate bank accounts for personal & business transactions & establish a basic accounting system.
 The IRB recognises business income on an accrual basis.
 This means that as long as a transaction is completed, either a sale of goods or a provision of service, its value is immediately treated as business income & is taxable.
 However, unpaid transaction can be reduced your taxable income.
 Any expenses made for the business can be deducted from the business income.
 The General rule is that expenses can be deducted if it is wholly & exclusively incurred in earning your business income.
 So Keep the receipts for all supplies that you buy for your business
 However there is no deduction for capital expenditure although some assets will qualify for tax relief by way of capital allowances

22) Time the purchase & use of your fixed assets
 Capital allowances are permitted for certain business assets such as equipment, machinery, vehicles computers & software.
 The amount of allowances permitted each year depends on the category that asset falls into. (refer to Public Ruling No 2/2001 for the deductible rate of your assets.
 The first capital allowance is given for the accounting year in which the asset was purchased & used by the business.
 If you are contemplating a purchase, try to do it before the end of the accounting year, instead of just after, to claim the capital allowance against your business income.
 If you are buying the asset with a hire-purchase loan, allowance can only be claimed as & when repayments are made to the lender.

23. Buys a company car
 If you are a sole trader/partner in a business, any car or vehicle that is used for business purposes can bring about tax deductions.
 The business income is reduced by the car’s financing cost if you buy the car on hire-purchase.
 You are also deduct a certain amount for capital allowances every year,
 Before implementing this tax-saving technique, business owners must identify a percentage of the car’s use that is for private activities.
 As there is no definite ruling on how to determine this proportion for private use, business owners must apply a fair & reasonable figure that can withstand scrutiny.
 Estimating private mileage is an exercise that must be undertaken in accordance to the facts on your actual usage.

24. Hire your spouse or family member
 An effective tax-saving strategy is to hire a spouse or family member.
 For example, a husband who is a business owner can hire his wife. The wife’s salary is tax deductible but you must be able to show that she is doing something to earn it,
 In this situation, you would have to contribute to your wife’s EPF savings & that amount entitles her to tax relief.
 Another option is to make your spouse/family member a partner in your business.
 This allows you to divide the income made by the business between the both of you.
 As a partnership has no tax liability, both partners are liable for tax for the respective portion of business income that each earns.
 By opting for separate tax assessments, a husband & wife who are partners in a business can each claim individual tax relief.

25. Implement a process to ‘chase after’ unpaid debts
 Unfortunately, small business owners can complete a sale or service but might not receive payment, in full or in part.
 At the end of an accounting year, a debt, which is estimated to be wholly or partly irrecoverable, can be deducted from your business income & this lowers your tax bill.
 Tax authorities tend to look closely at bad-debt write-offs & provisions (for debts that are expected to be partly recoverable).
 So put in some effort to recover the debt before deeming it irrecoverable & you must evaluate each debt separately.
 The process that you put in place to recover your unpaid debts should be documented & any conclusion that you make should be supported with documentation as well.
 For example, you must show why it is not cost effective to take legal action against a customer.
 However, if you eventually recover bad debts that have been written off or partially written off, you must include this amount in your taxable income for the year that you received payment.

26. Dedicate a space in your home office
 Working in your own house can result in tax deductions for the costs related to your “home office”.
 This includes electricity, telephone bills, quit rent & service charges of apartments.
 The best way to claim for these deductions is to dedicate a room or place as the working environment.
 A dedicated area helps to identify expenses that are specifically for business purposes & can be claimed in full.
 Items that are used by the business as well as personal use, such as electricity, must be apportioned.
 One way to do so is on the basis of floor area.
 If the business owner pays rent for the working area, this expense can be deducted from the business income.
 This applies to rent that is paid to a spouse who owns the home but is not involved in the business.
 However, this is strategy is only effective if the spouse who is not involved in the business is taxed at a low tax rate as rental received must be declared as taxable income.
 If this is an appropriate strategy for the business owner, A tenancy agreement that specifies rental for a specific part of the house at the prevailing market rate.
