Correct Answer
B. Food and drinks provided in a meeting with suppliersExplanation
Expenses incurred on food and drinks provided in a meeting with suppliers do not qualify for tax deduction. This is because these expenses are considered as business entertainment expenses rather than necessary and ordinary business expenses. Business entertainment expenses are generally not deductible for tax purposes as they are seen as personal in nature and not directly related to the production of income. Therefore, while expenses on food and drinks in other situations may be eligible for tax deduction, those incurred in a meeting with suppliers are not.Rate this question:

- A.
Interest expense arising from bank loan for purchase of commercial properties for long term investment purposes
- B.
Interest expense arising from bank overdraft for working capital purposes
- C.
Interest expense arising from bank loan for purchase of plant and machinery

Interest expense arising from bank loan to purchase shares where single tier dividend was received
Correct Answer
D. Interest expense arising from bank loan to purchase shares where single tier dividend was receivedExplanation
Interest expense arising from bank loan to purchase shares where single tier dividend was received does not qualify for tax deduction because it is related to the purchase of shares, which is considered an investment activity. In most tax jurisdictions, interest expenses incurred for investment purposes are not eligible for tax deductions. The single tier dividend received indicates that the shares are subject to a specific tax regime where the dividend is not taxed at the corporate level, further supporting the notion that the interest expense is not deductible.Rate this question:

A store reduced the price of one of its products by 25 percent. What percentage of the reduced price must it be increased by to put the product back to its original price?
- A.
20 percent
- B.
33 percent
- C.

To put the product back to its original price, the store needs to increase the reduced price by a certain percentage. Since the reduced price is 75 percent of the original price, an increase of 33 percent would bring it back to 100 percent, which is the original price.Rate this question:

Under a hire-purchase transaction, the correct tax treatment for the purchase of assets is to claim capital allowance on principal payments made during the year.

Additionally, expensing off the interest payments is also incorrect as interest payments are typically not deductible as an expense for tax purposes.

B. RM193,000Explanation
The taxable amount of the payment/gift received by Mr. Lim is RM193,000. This is because the lump sum payment of RM200,000 and the cost of the gold-plated watch (RM2,000) are both considered as taxable income. Therefore, the total taxable amount is RM202,000. However, since Mr. Lim retired on reaching the age of 55, he is eligible for a tax exemption of RM9,000. Subtracting this exemption from the total taxable amount gives us RM193,000.Rate this question:

Mr. Klaus is a resident of Germany. In February 2018 he was selected by a Malaysian company to provide architectural services with regard to a new office building. His fees was RM1 million. Most of the time spent on the job was in Germany. He estimated that the value of his time spent in Malaysia with regard to the project was RM200,000.

- A.
RM100,000
- B.
RM70,000
- C.
RM20,000
- D.
RM14,000
Correct Answer
D. RM14,000Explanation
The withholding tax to be deducted by the Malaysian company is RM14,000. This is because the Malaysian company is required to deduct withholding tax on the fees paid to Mr. Klaus for his architectural services in Malaysia. The withholding tax rate in Malaysia for non-residents is generally 14%. Since Mr. Klaus estimated that the value of his time spent in Malaysia for the project was RM200,000, the withholding tax to be deducted would be 14% of RM200,000, which is RM28,000. Therefore, the correct answer is RM14,000.Rate this question:
