Speaking Engagements
Managing Tax Compliance with Compassion Conference
So finally we have ended the 2 full days seminar at everly putrajaya Hotel on the seminar “Managing Tax Compliance with Compassion Conference”.
First, I would like to sincerely thank Prof Datuk Dr Leow and the whole team from Humanology for the opportunity given to me to share the same stage with distinguished speakers such as Tan Sri Ambrin Buang, the ex Auditor General of Malaysia, CEO of LHDN, Datuk Dr Nizom, Tan Sri Barry Goh, Dr Nik Abdullah Sami, Tuan Mustafa, Puan Salamatunnajan, Datuk Dr Fam, & Tuan Azizol.
The topic sharing ranges from e-invoicing, how to do record keeping from lhdn perspective, e-services from lhdn, insight sharing of tax audit and tax investigation, SVDP 2.0, payment issue of e-ckht, e-WHT, e-billing & tax agent/client relationship.
There is a saying you can work for 20 years with 20 years working experience, but it does not mean you will have that 20 years of credibility.
Being one of the youngest speaker to speak on the stage, and to be able to present my speech in front of the Tan Sri(s), Datuk(s) and all the esteemed speakers has given me more courage to give more tax talks in the future.
Tax treatment for property buyer and seller
with Reapfield Properties
One fine day, I was preparing my legal files, and I have received a call from Mr Charles Lee from Reapfield Properties. We talked into collaboration and he invited me to give a talk on "Tax treatment for property buyer and seller". On the same day itself, I am glad to meet Mr President of MIEA, Mr Tan Kian Aun, which was also there to give a speech on his past experience.
What an insightful day, glad what I am able to deliver help property agents to grow and upskill their knowledge about property tax, income tax and real properties gain tax, dos and donts when you are audited by LHDN, tips and tricks when and how to sell the property at the right timing so that you or your client pay the least amount of tax.
