Hi everyone, just to check:
my wife and I have contributed to SSPN for our two kids. My elder son's account is under my wife's name, and my daughter's is under mine.
My question is, due to the current revised tax relief, only one parent in a family is allowed to claim with a limit of up to RM8,000.
Can I claim for both kids (e.g., RM4,000 each), or do I need to go to a PTPTN branch to change the accounts to be under my name?"
I cannot confirm 100%, but I will bet heavily on,
Both children account need to hv your name (nric) opened for them.
Thus you need to open another new account for your son.
Yes, both parents can each open a separate account for the same child. They will each hv its own account numbers.
And I too believed that, your wife's accounts cannot be changed to yours as that has tax traceability implications for at least 7 yrs.
