马来西亚商业收入税:定义与开业规则


简介

根据《1967年所得税法令》,商业收入是马来西亚课税的重要来源。理解什么构成“业务”,以及何时被视为正式开业,对于正确报税和税务规划至关重要。

1. 所得税法中的“业务”定义

  • 在 第2条 中定义。
  • 包括 专业、行业、贸易、制造业、冒险或任何具有贸易性质的活动。
  • 不包括受雇所得(employment income)。

📌 参考:第3条 —— 所得税适用于在马来西亚产生或来自马来西亚的收入,或在马来西亚收到的海外收入。

2. 业务开业的定义

业务开业指企业在实际开展业务活动时的起点。具体开业日期因行业而异,例如:

  • 制造业 → 购买原材料的第一天。
  • 零售业 → 商店第一次对外营业的那一天。
  • 农业 → 播种幼苗或购买牲畜的那一天。

⚠️ ⚠️ 注意:以上仅为例子,实际开业日期需根据具体情况判断。

3. 开业日期的重要性

  • 开业前的支出 → 不可扣税。.
  • 资本津贴 → 合格资本支出(QCE)仅能从开业日期所在的课税期间开始申报。

4. 关键要点

  • “业务”的范围很广,但不包括受雇所得。
  • 开业日期因行业而异,需结合实际情况判断。
  • 正确确认开业日期有助于避免与内陆税收局(LHDN)的争议。
