Tax compliance services involve ensuring that an organisation is in full compliance with relevant tax laws and regulations. This includes preparing tax returns, making tax payments, and fulfilling reporting requirements. The aim is to minimise the risk of non-compliance and penalties.

On the other hand, tax planning involves developing strategies to minimise an organisation’s tax liability while staying within the boundaries of applicable tax laws and regulations. This includes analysing tax implications of business decisions, identifying tax-saving opportunities, and implementing effective tax planning strategies. The goal is to maximise tax efficiency and minimise the organisation’s overall tax burden.

II. Tax Compliance Services

The escalation of tax compliance requirements in Malaysia has contributed to the depletion of management time, and the adoption of a more probing approach by tax authorities has resulted in more severe penalties for non-compliance. When these factors are combined, the tax burden on businesses may surpass expectations and have a significant impact.
