oh man, for someone who is giving tax advice, u sure gave him all the wrong info bro...

1st of all, purchasing of computers are NOT entitled for TAX REBATES... its only entitled for TAX RELIEF. Do i need to elaborate whats the difference btwn those 2?

2nd, if you are quoting him that RM3000, and ask him to check if its every 5 years, why not just check it out b4 u quote your 5 years?? Bro, its once every 3 years.... and its a TAX RELIEF of up to RM3000

3rd, it doesnt really matter if he did not puchase the whole set from the PC shop. As long as he purchased enough, till the extend that the PC shop is willing to issue him a receipt saying he bought a whole computer, its adequate to claim for the TAX RELIEF, up to RM3000 whichever is lower. I've met with IRB officers and they are quite lenient on this claim when you have the receipt. Of coz dont go stationery shop, buy receipt and write your own ok

Added on November 2, 2010, 11:14 pmYup, its in there... but it did not say whether its 5 years or 3 years.... The correct info is once every 3 years....

and do differentiate when u say TAX REBATE or TAX RELIEF .... its totally different type of claims.

my pleasure man,,,, all the best

Yes, its better to be in your name. If they jst write "cash", and u claim the tax relief for it, its still ok.... coz we dont actually need to submit the receipt upon tax assessment. However, when IRB does periodic audit & u're 1 of the "lucky" ones, you need to present yourself at the IRB office with all the documents/receipts.... This can be maximum of 7 years later,,,, thus, by that time, if they dont accept your "cash" receipt, then you "kena denda" lo

so, while the transaction is still recent, go back to your PC shop, ask them to reissue a receipt with your full name in it.... 7 years later, the PC shop ask you to fly kite

hope this helps.......

No he cant... only the name on the receipt can claim. You could try to write to Dell, requesting them to change name on the invoice/receipt ...

bro, u're getting it all mixed up and u're confused... go study tax frm websites and find out what are these terms :-

1) tax rebate
2) tax relief
3) Income
4) Aggregate income
5) Income b4 tax/taxable income
6) tax payable

after you know all the above, then go back to your 5 questions.... if dont understand, then only ask me again
