I've seen many contest that offers cars and even house as the grand prize and ppl actually won it. My question is do they need to pay tax on the prize?

Say a person win a car worth rm100k, does the person get taxed according to the value of the car?

How about if the person sold off the car and take the money, will it be taxed?

Actually for companies like Shell & Petronas, do frequently giv out cash prizes, bside attracting more ppl, do they get larger tax cut or something like that?

Usually anything done in connection to promoting the company to attract more sales would be considered as qualified expenses. In this case the competition is considered as means to bring in more sale hence would be allowed.
