IRBM’s Response to CTIM on Amended Guidelines on Deduction for Secretarial & Tax Filing Fees

On August 17, 2022, the IRB updated the guidelines it had previously published on its website regarding tax deductions for payments associated with tax and secretarial filing fees.

The guidelines are in Bahasa Malaysia and are named "Pindaan Garis Panduan Potongan Bagi Perbelanjaan Berhubung Dengan Yuran Kesetiausahaan Dan Yuran Pemfailan Cukai Mulai Tahun Taksiran 2022" (Guidelines).

The previous guidelines, dated 11 May 2021, have been replaced by the new guidelines, which are 11 pages long.

The new guidelines were changed mainly to reflect changes to the law that took effect in the year of assessment (YA) 2022.
