INTRODUCTION
Most sole -proprietors, partnerships and companies engaged tax agents to handle the preparation and submission of their company’s’ income tax returns but having the basic tax knowledge of tax-deductible expense in order to minimise any potential miscommunication between the companies and the tax agents is important. There are lots of rules around what can and cannot be claimed for business related expenses. To mitigate the risk exposure, it is important for taxpayers and tax agents to have sufficient basic tax knowledge to enable them to comply with the tax rules and current legislations.
By the end of this workshop, participants would be able to enhance the understanding of what business expenditure is tax deductible.
