CO A SDN BHD’s financial year end is 31 December every year. On 1 Jan 2018, the Board of Directors approved a director fee of RM100,000 payable to the Director, VICTOR CHOONG in respect of financial year ended 31 Dec 2017.

VICTOR CHOONG owns 51% of the ordinary shares in CO A SDN BHD and has effective control over the company. As such, the transaction is deemed as a controlled transaction. VICTOR CHOONG拥有CO A SDN BHD公司51%的普通股，并对该公司拥有实际控制权。因此，该交易被视为受控交易。

And as such it would be an assessable income of VICTOR CHOONG in year 2019. 根据第29(4)条，于2018年申报的董事费，如仍未支付，将被视为在下一个基准年(即2019年)应要求应收。因此，这将是VICTOR CHOONG在2019年的应征税收入。
