This article will see IRBM's response regarding item 3, Income Tax (Deduction For Incorporation Expenses) Rules 2003 [P.U. (A) 475/2003] as amended by P.U. (A) 472/2005.


Rule 2(1) of the P.U. (A) 475/2003, as amended by the P.U. (A) 472/2005, states:



The CTIM has made comments regarding the Income Tax (Deduction for Incorporation Expenses) Rules 2003 [PU(A) 475/2003].


According to Rule 2(1), a company with an authorised capital of up to RM2.5 million can claim a deduction for the expenses incurred during incorporation (pre-incorporation expenses).


Abolishing the par value concept through Section 74 of the Companies Act (CA) 2016 has led to the elimination of the authorised share capital concept linked to the CA 1965.


This means that PU(A) 475/2003 may require amendments to apply to companies incorporated under the CA 2016.


The phrase "authorised capital" in Rule 2(1)(a) could be replaced with "paid-up capital in respect of ordinary shares." The CTIM requests that the tax authorities address this matter.


Feedback from LHDNM:


IRBM acknowledges and will bring this matter to the Ministry of Finance for policy consideration.
