Membayar cukai ialah tanggungjawab rakyat sesebuah negara.
Cukai yang dikenakan atas pendapatan mahupun perbelanjaan kita, sebenarnya, merupakan satu instrumen ekonomi yang amat penting bagi negara untuk memperoleh hasil atau pendapatan.
Secara amnya, kutipan cukai adalah bagi tujuan berikut:
Secara ringkasnya, cukai merupakan kunci kepada pentadbiran negara yang berkesan, dan sebagai rakyat, kita harus menunaikan tanggungjawab ini dengan ikhlas.
Lagi pula, kita perlu faham bahawa bayaran cukai sama ada daripada orang perseorangan mahupun peniaga seperti Pengusaha Kecil dan Sederhana (PKS) akan kembali dan dinikmati semula oleh rakyat.
Selain itu, terutamanya sebagai pemilik PKS, membayar cukai perniagaan ada kelebihannya, iaitu:
Namun, sebagai pemilik perniagaan yang bijak, kita sebenarnya boleh merancang percukaian perniagaan secara strategik untuk membayar cukai seminimum yang mungkin berlandaskan undang-undang.
Bagi tujuan ini, anda memerlukan pengurusan akaun perniagaan yang lengkap.
Mengapa pengurusan akaun penting untuk percukaian?
Ramai yang tidak menyedari keperluan mempunyai akaun yang lengkap. Proses persediaan akaun terdahulu yang tidak dikemaskinikan dengan baik bukan mudah. Ia memakan masa kerana transaksi yang sudah lepas perlu disemak kerana turut memainkan peranan bagi mengesan kesilapan-kesilapan yang kerap berulang dan merugikan peniaga. Tanpa pengurusan akaun yang betul, peniaga bukan sahaja berisiko membuat keputusan yang salah, malah berdepan dengan risiko dikenakan kompaun oleh Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN) melalui siasatan audit.
Antara kelebihan menyediakan akaun perniagaan dengan baik dan tersusun adalah:
Antara analisa yang boleh dibuat dengan penyata kewangan yang lengkap ialah:
Syarikat mempunyai pilihan dalam memastikan jumlah cukai yang dibayar adalah tepat berdasarkan keuntungan yang sebenar bagi tahun semasa. Sekiranya syarikat menyasarkan cukai yang sepatutnya bagi tahun semasa, syarikat perlu memantau perbelanjaan dan pendapatan yang dikenakan cukai. Perkara ini hanya boleh dilakukan sekiranya syarikat sentiasa memantau akaun, corak aliran pendapatan dan perbelanjaan syarikat.

The world we live in is increasingly complex, especially for the youths, and they will eventually need to take charge of their future and finances. Financial education in the tertiary stage is for those between the ages of 18 to 25 currently pursuing post-secondary education. Providing them with the appropriate financial know-how at this point will build up their competence in dealing with future financial decisions. This module focuses on cash flow management, the importance of savings and setting up a budget, internet banking and other appropriate topics for university and college students.
This stage comprises those between the ages of 20 to 30, i.e. mainly those who are just starting out in life. Financial education is essential to this age group as they learn to be independent in most matters especially financial management. In their minds, a car is a want rather than a need, and normally sits at the top of their list of things to acquire. Our Entering Workforce module focuses on understanding the fundamentals of borrowing and the importance of borrowing productively to encourage positive net worth. Financial education at this stage is also aimed at inculcating the habit of managing debts wisely. The module also introduces the fundamentals of investments and the importance of insurance for a better tomorrow.
The module for the next life stage is for those who are starting and raising a family. People in this category are approaching that time in their life when they will normally experience important and meaningful life’s milestones: marriage, children and a new home. Designed for those between 30 to 40 years of age, this module will focus on settling unproductive loans while reducing debt commitments as they prepare for retirement. Emphasis will again be placed on the importance of planning for and protecting against uncertainties by talking about the types of financial tools available. They will learn the various types of insurance policies and be able to decide on the best coverage based on their affordability for their precious family. Education will also be given on the appropriate investments that will provide passive income for a better tomorrow.
The transition from working to retiring involves many tough decisions regarding income and lifestyle needs and whether one plans to ease into retirement or otherwise, while considering factors such as wealth management, whether a pension is enjoyed, and EPF balances. These are big decisions with long-term impact on their financial well-being during retirement. To make the best choices, they require sufficient knowledge and intense awareness of how they want to live through their retirement years. Therefore, our pre-retirement module will prepare them for retirement by teaching them the proper use of their investments and review of their portfolio while servicing their insurance policies and settling unproductive debts to improve their net worth positively.
You have retired. How would you manage your money now? Considering that the average life expectancy in Malaysia has improved, it is more important now than ever to ensure that you have the financial resources to live a comfortable and happy lifestyle—particularly if you are looking forward to retiring with peace of mind. Taking care of your wealth and making it last are important at this stage. Financial literacy and education is a continuous life lesson that does not end at retirement. Now, more than ever, you need to manage your finances wisely and plan for the unexpected. Our post-retirement module is focused on those who are currently transitioning into retirement or are in the early stages of retirement.
