PUBLISHER Sweet & Maxwell Asia has released three tax-related titles, all by Richard Thornton, for individuals, small businesses and Malaysian investors.

100 Ways to Save Tax in Malaysia for Individuals is a practical tax guide written in a friendly style to help ordinary people plan their affairs effectively so as to minimise their tax burden.

Most of us know the responsibilities we have under the self-assessment system introduced by the Inland Revenue Board and want to keep on the right side of the law.

This book helps readers to properly plan their affairs to comply with tax regulations and avoid costly penalties and to minimise taxes within the limits of the law.

Learn about the deductions, reliefs, rebates and tax exemptions that are available to singles and married couples. This tax guide has been fully updated to take into account new developments, including the two stimulus packages unveiled in the 2009 and 2010 budgets.

100 Ways to Save Tax for Malaysian Investors guides investors to optimise the return on their investments. Often, too little attention is paid to tax even though it can take a big bite out of the investment return.

This book helps investors to understand the way tax applies to different kinds of investments. The main focus is on investment in Malaysia by Malaysians, but the book also covers the tax implications of offshore investments, including those in Labuan and investments by non-residents and by successful applicants under the Malaysia My Second Home programme.

The third title, 100 ways to Save Tax in Malaysia for Small Businesses, is written specifically to help owners of small businesses. It includes detailed explanations and examples of new and improved incentives such as accelerated capital allowances, reinvestment allowance, exemption for increased export of healthcare services and carry-back losses. The book also explains the factors that divide small companies from larger ones.

The easy-reading style, clear examples and comprehensive index make it convenient for readers to search for tips and advice.
