Protecting Your Profits From Excessive Taxation

Taxation is an integral part of conducting business. If not handled properly in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, it may subject a company to huge legal and financial risks, such as hefty fines and criminal charges against the company directors. Even law-abiding businesses can experience significant financial losses from taxation if they are paying more than what is legally required.

We employ only certified tax agents to assist clients with striking the right balance when it comes to taxation. With our support, clients pay the minimum amount of tax required by law, which allows them to avoid legal jeopardy while conserving valuable financial resources that can be redirected to growth.

What We Cover for
Taxation Services

Comprehensive Tax Planning

We work closely with clients to develop and implement strategies for minimising their corporate tax obligations, from changing their business structure to taking advantage of new tax incentives. We pay attention to every detail as even small adjustments to business practices can lead to major tax savings.

Resolving Tax Disputes (After a Field Audit / Tax Investigation)

Despite their best efforts, many businesses inadvertently make mistakes when filing their taxes. If detected by the Internal Revenue Board (IRB) during a field audit or tax investigation, these mistakes can result in huge financial penalties for the company in question. To limit clients’ losses, we can negotiate a lower fine with the IRB on their behalf, in addition to helping them rectify the errors that triggered the penalties in the first place.

Providing Guidance on Transfer Pricing

Although legal in Malaysia, transfer pricing is strictly regulated by the IRB. Companies practicing transfer pricing may face allegations of tax fraud if they are deemed to have contravened the stipulations in Section 140A of the Income Tax Act 1967. Therefore, our clients depend on our expertise to reduce their tax burden and protect themselves from prosecution.

Applying for Advance Rulings

Prior to entering certain business arrangements, companies may need to request an advance ruling from the IRB to clarify how they will be taxed under a particular arrangement. We assist clients with the application process as well as observing the terms of the ruling.

Developing an Indirect Tax Collection and Remittance Framework

Other than paying direct taxes on corporate income, Malaysian businesses also bear responsibility for remitting indirect taxes (e.g. GST, SST, import duties) levied on sales of their products and services to the Royal Malaysian Customs Department. We design efficient indirect tax collection and remittance frameworks for clients and provide solutions to any issues that may arise.

Our Case Studies

#1:
Unfreezing Assets and Securing an
80% Discount on Tax Penalties

Before:

Client C’s personal and company bank accounts were frozen by the IRB after a tax investigation which revealed irregularities in their tax filings. The IRB also seized company-owned mobile phones and all related documentation.

With NKH Support:

Within a month of being engaged, we persuaded the IRB to unfreeze Client C’s accounts and return all confiscated items. We also managed to negotiate Client C’s RM7 million fine down to RM1.5 million, even convincing the IRB to offer Client C a flexible 36-month payment schedule in the process.

#2:
Updating and Extracting Useful Information
From 7 Years of Financial Records

Before:

Clients D and E (no relation to each other) received court orders instructing them to pay heavy fines to the IRB and the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) following a field audit. They found it difficult to gather evidence of mitigating circumstances as they had neglected to maintain proper financial records for the last 7 years.

With NKH Support:

We were requested to update Clients D and E’s financial records for tax reporting purposes, which was no easy feat as the records covered financial transactions worth RM5 – 8 million each year. Nonetheless, we were able to complete the task in only 6 months. We then submitted an appeal against the court orders on their behalf, which resulted in their huge fines being reduced to the minimum amount permissible under the law.
