Key Considerations

What we help you think through

01

Accuracy of Tax computations

Tax computations must correctly identify allowable and disallowable expenses, apply the correct capital allowance rates, and account for available reliefs. Errors result in overpayment or exposure to LHDN penalties and additional assessments.

02

Timely submission

Form C is due within 7 months of your financial year end. CP204 must be submitted before your financial year begins. Missing either deadline attracts penalties. We track and manage both proactively.

03

Compliance with regulations

Malaysian tax legislation changes regularly. Keeping up with LHDN guidelines is essential to ensure filings are compliant and available incentives are correctly applied.

04

Alignment with financial records

Your tax computation must align with your financial statements. Discrepancies between the two are one of the most common triggers for LHDN audits.
