Recommendation on reducing tax
I hope you can comprehend the tax implications and tax efficiency of the remuneration packages. Besides, I would like to recommend the most tax efficient remuneration package based on the proposed benefits by your employer and the legal ways to save tax in Malaysia. First and foremost, it is a good option to ask for a company car because the car given by your employer, Golden Berhad is regarded as benefit-in-kind (BIK). A company car is more beneficial for you (taxpayer) because the predetermined tax scale for cars are much lower than the cost of buying and maintaining a car. Next, I would l like to persuade you to buy a life insurance for yourself and family members in order to salvage. There is maximum tax relief of RM6, 000 per annum for premium paid for life insurance included your EPF contributions. Additionally, you can pay your parents’ medical bills to claim up to RM5, 000 per individual for payments. You may claim a deduction up to RM 500 per tax year for a full medical examination. There is a separate tax deduction up to RM5000 per year is given for necessary basic supporting equipment for disabilities suffered by yourself, wife, children or parents. There is a new Private Retirement Scheme (PRS) introduced. You may invest on Private Retirement Scheme for exemption of up to RM3, 000 with effect from YA 2012 to 2021. All in all, you can use insurance as a form of savings with protection and returns, and you will get tax exemption at the same time. Besides that, the living accommodation such as house given by your employer for the whole period of your employment is taxable but you are benefited to use the accommodation without the need to rent a house with high costs. If you wish to get housing loan to purchase your own house there is a maximum deduction of RM10, 000 is for each basis year for a period of three consecutive years of assessment (For Sale and Purchase (S&P) Agreement executed in between 10th March 2009 to 31st December 2010).

    The substantial rehabilitation requirement provides that a taxpayer must incur rehabilitation expenditures which exceed the greater of (1) the adjusted basis of the property before the rehabilitation ($250,000), or (2) $5,000. Therefore, if Diane chooses to incur only $200,000 on the rehabilitation, this amount would not be enough to qualify as a "substantial rehabilitation" and no credit would be available. The depreciable basis of the property would be the sum of its original cost plus the capital improvements, or $450,000 ($250,000 + $200,000).…

    We have been requested to review and present to you our recommendations for the start of your new Pharmaceutical/Biotech Consulting Company. To begin, we would like to review the information that we have been given from you to KMCE&A. We understand that you have a background as a business executive as well as a scientific background. Your business plan states you are starting up a consulting company that will handle R&D monitoring for other companies that are in the Pharmaceutical/Biotech Industry. Your client base is mostly in the New Jersey and Pennsylvania area but hope to eventually expand to a global customer base. Your main investments will be in salaries in that as a services industry you will have minimal asset investments. Your personal preference is to have no personal liability. You would like to keep the ownership small and retain the majority ownership of 50% to 60% so that you can keep control of the decision making. However you are open to issuing stock if the funding of your business would benefit from this over financing through debt. You also expect to have a loss of approximately $25,000 in the first year due to start up costs and become profitable by year two. You initially will have three employees joining you at the start of the business. Two employees, Scott & Kate, will be contributing services of an IT specialist and a marketing/public relations as well as a program manager. The third member, Todd, who is an attorney, will not only contribute legal services but also an initial investment of $50,000. We also understand that you have $200,000 of personal funds to invest as well as have obtained an additional $500,000 in financing through securing your own personal assets.…

    In 1969, Congress had noticed that 155 people with high incomes were legally using so many deductions and other tax breaks that they were virtually paying nothing in federal income taxes. This angered many tax paying citizens and embarrassed the government. In an effort to fix the system Congress came up with the alternative minimum tax. At the time the tax only affected the high income class but not so today. The alternative minimum tax was never adjusted for inflation and now affects more and more middle income taxpayers. Now a day the AMT affects people with an income over $75,000 and some large deductions. Most vulnerable are taxpayers with several children, interest deductions due to second mortgage, capital gains, and incentive stock options.…
