  • 2% EPF for Foreign Workers?

    So now, as business owners, we have one more thing to worry about—2% mandatory EPF contribution for foreign workers. Supposedly, this is to provide social protection. But let’s be honest—how many foreign workers come to Malaysia thinking, “Oh, I need to save for my retirement 30 or 40 years later”?…

  • As a tennis player, I never thought I’d find myself on a pickleball court. Yet, somehow, I ended up there—twice. And let me tell you, it was a humbling experience. I had “played” pickleball before—with my office colleagues twice. And I use “played” very loosely because 70% of the time…

    Last week’s phone call made me chuckle. A client called asking if loan interest was deductible for Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT). When I asked what his lawyer said, his hearty laugh told me everything. It’s a familiar scene in Malaysia – property matters go to lawyers, tax matters go…

  • (Audit Update) 审计豁免

    马来西亚公司委员会已推出第10/2024号实务指引(Practice Directive No. 10/2024),对私人公司的审计豁免条件进行了重大更新。这些变更将于2025年1月1日或之后开始的财务期间生效,旨在简化中小型企业(SMI)的合规流程。 以下是您需要了解的关键内容,以便充分利用这一新指引。 第10/2024号实务指引的关键亮点 私人公司如果满足以下三项条件中的至少两项,即可申请审计豁免: ✅收入门槛: 年收入在当前和前两个财务年度均不超过300万令吉。✅资产门槛: 总资产在当前和前两个财务年度均不超过300万令吉。✅员工人数: 在当前和前两个财务年度结束时,总员工人数不超过30人。 这些门槛将分三年逐步实施: ✅2025年: 收入和资产限额为100万令吉,员工人数为10人。✅2026年: 收入和资产限额为200万令吉,员工人数为20人。✅2027年: 收入和资产限额为300万令吉,员工人数为30人。 附件中列出的分阶段审计豁免门槛的提交年份如下: ✅第一阶段(2025年门槛): 从2026年1月1日开始提交。✅第二阶段(2026年门槛): 从2027年1月1日开始提交。✅第三阶段(2027年门槛): 从2028年1月1日开始提交。 这些提交年份与各阶段自1月1日开始的相应财务期间一致。符合审计豁免条件的公司应提前准备相关提交文件。 如果公司符合以下条件,则可继续享受审计豁免: ✅自成立以来未开展业务,或✅在当前和前一个财务年度中保持休眠状态。 以下情况不适用审计豁免: ✅已提交特定声明的豁免私人公司;✅公共公司或其子公司;✅外国公司。 选择审计豁免的公司必须向公司注册局提交未经审计的财务报表,其中包括: ✅董事报告;✅董事声明;✅法定声明;✅确认符合审计豁免资格的证明书。 目前依赖第3/2017号实务指引的公司,仍可继续使用该指引,直到2024年12月31日或之前的财务期间结束。从2025年1月1日起,第10/2024号实务指引将完全取代第3/2017号指引。 接下来应该怎么做? SMI公司应审查其财务记录和员工人数,以确定是否符合新标准的审计豁免资格。提前准备有助于确保合规并避免不必要的审计。 如需进一步的指导或协助适应这些变更,请联系 KTP(www.ktp.com.my)。我们将协助您
