It is with great pleasure that I pen these introductory words for this inaugural issue of “Building Beyond Buildings”, THPROPERTIES’ newsletter. The THPROPERTIES Group has charted impressive growth over the past few years, and we hope that this publication will serve to showcase some of these achievements and the exciting prospects ahead. ‘Building Beyond Buildings’ is the Group’s maxim, and reflects the attitudes and values of the Group. Centred as we are in the business of buildings in its many forms, we apply the verb building assiduously, whether it is to our organisation, to our people, to our communities or to our legacy. We build wealth. We build expertise. We build character. Dato’ Azizan Abd Rahman Chairman TH Properties Sdn Bhd This inaugural issue features our maiden venture overseas, the Bay Pavilions in Lane Cove, Sydney, Australia.

Satu program yang sama telah dilaksanakan dua tahun sebelum ini di Pantai Timur Semenanjung. Objektif program ini adalah untuk merapatkan hubungan di kalangan kakitangan, yang kebanyakannya bertugas berjauhan di antara satu sama lain di pejabat-pejabat dan tapak-tapak pembinaan syarikat serta di bangunan yang diselenggarakan. Ia juga memberi peluang kepada kakitangan untuk berkunjung ke destinasi yang mungkin belum pernah mereka lawati sebelum ini. Semua kakitangan telah menginap di TH Hotel Kota Kinabalu, hotel berprestasi yang dimiliki oleh Tabung Haji. Antara aktiviti yang disertai oleh kakitangan di hotel ialah Majlis Makan Malam bertemakan 'Pelangi'. Kakitangan telah disajikan dengan persembahan kebudayaan, penyampaian hadiah dan hiburan. Beberapa siri lawatan ke tempat-tempat menarik di Sabah juga telah diatur untuk kakitangan iaitu kawasan tanah tinggi yang menghijau di pedalaman, air laut yang kebiruan dan pulau-pulau yang indah di persisiran pantai Kota Kinabalu. Tidak dilupakan ialah sajian demi sajian masakan tempatan Sabah (makanan laut di sini adalah yang paling segar!) dan, sudah tentu, acara membeli-belah. Lawatan itu tidak akan lengkap tanpa interaksi dengan penduduk tempatan, dan kali ini kakitangan telah meraikan anak-anak yatim dan kanak-kanak miskin dari Tambunan, serta saudara-saudara baru Muslim dengan jamuan petang. 18 BUILDINGBEYONDBUILDINGS VOL UME1|July– December2014 BUILDINGRELATIONSHIPS CORPORATE & STAFF EVENTS GIGIH MELAMPAUI DAYA TAHAN - MENAKLUKI GUNUNG KINABALU Sebagai sebahagian daripada 'Lawatan Pengukuhan Ukhuwwah' ke Kota Kinabalu, satu misi telah diatur bagi menyahut cabaran mendaki dan menawan Gunung Kinabalu berketinggian 4,095 meter.

Latihan mendaki telah diadakan di Gunung Angsi (824m), Gunung Bunga (1,430m) dan Gunung Ledang (1,276m). Selain meningkatkan tahap kecergasan, program latihan juga memupuk semangat berpasukan yang tinggi dan setia kawan di kalangan para peserta.

Pada awal pagi keesokannya, pasukan yang terdiri daripada 32 kakitangan yang terpilih memulakan pendakian mereka. Seluruh pasukan berjaya mencapai titik transit di Laban Rata (3,800m) untuk berehat sebelum pendakian terakhir untuk menawan puncak pada awal pagi 21 Jun 2014. Menjelang jam 04:30 pagi, satu pasukan enam orang pendaki yang terpantas telah berjaya mendaki puncak “Low’s Peak” dan mengibarkan bendera Syarikat di atas gunung yang tertinggi di negara ini. Dua puluh dua orang pendaki lain turut berjaya menamatkan pendakian. Malangnya akibat keletihan, kesejukan dan kekurangan oksigen, beberapa pendaki tepaksa berpatah balik sebelum sampai ke puncak.

It is inevitable that home prices will also be affected. In this article, we explain how home and property prices will be affected moving forward. To properly appreciate how GST will affect home prices, it is necessary to first understand how GST works. Aside from GST, one must also have an understanding of the Sales Tax, which is the existing tax scheme affecting the property sector. GST will supplant the Sales Tax come April 2015. TAX SCHEME ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY – THE SIMILARITIES In comparing both tax schemes, we have to first identify their similarities. One similarity between GST and the existing Sales Tax scheme is that no taxes are charged or will be charged to the consumer on the purchase of a home / residential property. For GST, residential properties fall under the “Exempt Rated” basket of goods. (But do take note that GST will be charged to the consumer for commercial property purchases as commercial properties are “Standard Rated”). However, during the creation of the final product (also known as the input stage in tax parlance), under both tax schemes, developers would incur taxes during procurement of their inputs and materials. And this is where the differences start to become apparent between both tax schemes. The tax rate for inputs and materials vary between GST and Sales Tax. SALES TAX VS GST FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES – THE DIFFERENCES Based on the Sales Tax Act of 1972, basic building materials such as bricks, cement and floor tiles fall inside First Schedule Goods, in which all the goods in this category will not be subjected to sales tax. Meanwhile, other building materials fall inside Second Schedule Goods, in which all the goods in this category will only be charged sales tax of 5%. Under the new GST implementation, all building materials and services (E.g. Contractors, engineers) will be subject to GST with a standard rate of 6%. This will invariably raise the production cost for developers. If you understand how GST works, you will notice that in most cases, the additional tax cost is simply passed on to the final consumer (Standard-Rated goods), or is claimed back from the government (ZeroRated goods). But in this case (Exempt- Rated), the additional tax cost is borne by the party before the final consumer – The developer. The developer does not have a next “victim” in the supply chain. This seems like good news for home buyers as they do not have to pay GST when purchasing a home. However, one should not be too happy about this. It is no stretch of the imagination to think that developers would try to build in the additional tax costs into the final sale price implicitly. BEFORE & AFTER GST – A COMPARISON The tables below show a comparison between the cost of a new property before and after GST. Certain taxes and costs leading up to the sale to the final consumer have been simplified for this purpose. Also, an assumption is made that developers are able to transfer 100% of all incurred tax costs over to the consumer via the sale price. 22 BUILDINGBEYONDBUILDINGS VOL UME1|July– December2014 The example above shows a price increase of 3.41% for new residential properties post-GST implementation. But there is a plus point to this. Overall, new residential properties may register a lower overall increase in tax burden compared to Commercial Properties that are StandardRated. This is because there still is the chance that developers may only transfer some and not all of their tax cost increases into the final retail price. The downside to this is that where pricing for new commercial properties will be cleaner (Sales Price + GST), pricing for new residential homes would look inflated. This, in turn, will undoubtedly have a knock on effect on prices in the secondary house market. BUILDINGKNOWLEDGE HOMEBUYERS’ GUIDE CONCLUSION As a home buyer, it pays to know what the implementation of GST might bode for home prices moving forward. If you skipped the entire article, here are all the key insights in a nutshell: • With GST, there should be a once-off increase in property prices across the board; • While developers may not bill home buyers for GST, they could transfer the costs implicitly via the sale price; • The overall price increase for new residential properties could be marginally lower than that for new commercial properties; • The secondary home market should see a knock on effect in prices. Armed with this knowledge, you can make a better decision on when to purchase your home.
