ACCA Malaysia helps the public understand tax

1,500 members of the public filled a hall to capacity in Kuala Lumpur on 18 March 2005. The audience listened to a presentation by Dr Choong Kwai Fatt, a lecturer from the University of Malaya, on the newly-implemented self-assessment taxation system.

As part of a community project, 200 ACCA students and affiliates joined Dr Choong and provided help to members of the public having difficulty filling in their income tax details.

Students and affiliates spent over five hours dealing with the attendees, explaining how to fill in the forms and the required documentation. All the students were either studying, or had completed, Paper 3.2, Advanced Taxation. This community project is not only a service to the public, but also an opportunity for students and affiliates to gain practical knowledge. They benefited from hands-on experience of income tax issues, which will better prepare them for future employment in this area.
