在马来西亚商业收入确认中,一个重要的课题是 预收款与服务/财产使用相关债务的处理。这在《1967年所得税法》第24(1A)条中有明确规定。
这一规定经历了变化,尤其是在 Clear Water Sanctuary Golf Management Berhad (CWSGMS) 诉 KPHDN 案 之后,以及 2016课税年度(YA 2016)修订后。
任何应收账款仅在服务已经提供,或财产已经被使用/享受时,才会被视为商业总收入。
简单来说:收入在实际赚取时才需纳税,而不是在预收时。
内陆税收局 (IRB) 不同意,试图征税。
结果
为应对上述判例,第24(1A)条进行了修订:
未来服务或财产使用的预收款,在收到时即需作为商业总收入确认,即使服务尚未提供。
若日后有退款,可在退款当年扣除。
