Eco-Land Sdn Bhd acquired a shop lot for investment and letting purposes. Under which of the following scenarios will the rental income be assessed as a business source of income?
- A.
Eco-Land Sdn Bhd owns another three properties which it also lets out
- B.
Eco-Land Sdn Bhd owns only commercial properties

Eco-Land Sdn Bhd actively advertises the space for rental
- D.

Correct Answer
D. Eco-land Sdn Bhd actively provides comprehensive maintenance or support/ancillary servicesExplanation
If Eco-Land Sdn Bhd actively provides comprehensive maintenance or support/ancillary services for the shop lot, the rental income will be assessed as a business source of income. This is because actively providing these services indicates that Eco-Land Sdn Bhd is not just passively collecting rent, but actively involved in the management and operation of the property. This level of involvement and additional services provided elevate the rental activity to a business activity.Rate this question:

- A.
1 and 2
- B.
2 and 4
- C.
1, 2 and 4
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. 1 and 2Explanation
Payments 1 and 2 are subjected to withholding tax because they involve payments to overseas entities. Withholding tax is a tax deducted at source by the payer of the income and is usually applicable to payments made to non-residents or foreign entities. In this case, TSG Sdn Bhd is making payments to its parent company in Canada and an overseas franchise holder, both of which are considered non-residents. Therefore, withholding tax would be applicable to these payments. Payments 3 and 4, on the other hand, do not involve overseas entities and would not be subjected to withholding tax.Rate this question:

What is the real property gains tax (RPGT) implication of the above transaction for Fajar Sdn Bhd?

- C.
Fajar Sdn Bhd will be subject to RPGT and must submit a RPGT return to the IRB within 60 days from the date of signing the sale and purchase agreement
- D.
Fajar Sdn Bhd will not be subject to RPGT as the compulsory acquisition by the government will be treated as a no-gain no-loss transaction but it must still submit a RPGT return to the IRB
Correct Answer
D. Fajar Sdn Bhd will not be subject to RPGT as the compulsory acquisition by the government will be treated as a no-gain no-loss transaction but it must still submit a RPGT return to the IRBExplanation
In this scenario, Fajar Sdn Bhd will not be subject to Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) because the compulsory acquisition of the land by the government will be treated as a no-gain no-loss transaction. However, Fajar Sdn Bhd is still required to submit an RPGT return to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB). This means that although there is no tax liability, the company still needs to report the transaction to the tax authorities.Rate this question:
