马来西亚支出与费用:可扣税 vs 不可扣税

Outgoings and Expenses:
简介

马来西亚的支出与费用规定决定了哪些企业成本可以扣税。理解可扣税与不可扣税的费用、费用的应计,以及相关案例法,对于正确遵守税务规定至关重要。

允许扣除的项目

可扣除的费用包括:

  • 借款利息
  • 应付租金
  • 与场所、厂房、机器或固定装置的修理费用

不允许扣除的项目

以下属资本性支出,不允许扣除:

  • 资产的更换
  • 增强或改善
  • 初始维修(资产使用前的大规模维修)

📚 Case: Federal Commissioner of Taxation vs James Flood Pty Ltd

  • 费用即使未支付,只要纳税人已承担义务,也视为已发生。
  • “Incurred” ≠ “Provision”。Provision 属于不确定性,可能被冲销,因此不算支出。

费用的应计

费用在权责发生制下可扣除,即使尚未实际支付。

📚 Case: Exxon Chemical (M) Sdn Bhd vs KPHDN

  • EC 为员工设立退休及离职福利计划,拨出 RM881,270(YA1986–1991)。
  • 税务局不允许扣除。
  • 上诉法院判决:只要员工服务超过 11 年,享有既定权利 → 属于“完全且专门”支出 → 可扣除

特定允许利息 [s.33(1)]

利息支出可扣除,条件是:

  1. 贷款用于产生收入;或
  2. 贷款用于购买、持有在当期用于产生收入的资产。

关键要点

  • 可扣除:利息、租金、维修费用
  • 不可扣除:资本性支出(资产更换、改善、初始维修)
  • 权责发生制原则:费用在负担义务时即可扣除
  • 案例法:James Flood、Exxon Chemical 解释了相关规则
  • 利息支出在 [s.33(1)] 下允许扣除,若与收入生产有关
