Hi,

Wanna ask an question here. Let say I bought a house last end of year, but now the in progressing 3+1 months procedures. By right there is no tax relief for purchase of residential property since instalment not started yet.
But last year I have been spent alot on legal fee, is there any way to relief this legal fee amount? Cause I'm feel like this year I really didn't gain much after deduct from expenditure, and right now have to pay tax 

Sorry for the silly question here..

@ vin_ann

If i were you, i will claim. In the event that income tax question me on the deduction, i will negotiate and appeal. If still not allowed, just forget it since the saving (RM300 x 25%) is not much.

If no one question me... then keep silent lor...

Please don't just simply assumed for any tax law. Since it is written in black and white and without backed by further note or explanation, it is not deductible item in respect to sport shoe. Just my 2 cents.

Pelepasan cukai pendapatan ke atas simpanan SSPN:

Ibu bapa dan ibu bapa angkat/penjaga yang sah dari segi undang-undang yang menyimpan dalam akaun SSPN untuk manfaat anak diberi pelepasan sehingga maksimum RM3,000 setahun tertakluk kepada jumlah simpanan bersih tahun semasa;
Ibu bapa yang membuat taksiran berasingan dan telah membuka akaun simpanan SSPN berasingan atas anak yang sama diberikan pelepasan sehingga maksimum RM3,000 seorang setahun;
Ibu bapa yang membuat taksiran bersama dan telah membuka akaun simpanan SSPN berasingan diberi pelepasan sehingga maksimum RM3,000 setahun; dan
Individu yang menyimpan untuk diri sendiri tidak diberi pelepasan cukai.

do we have to declare our income from AS1M, FD interest?

today's thestar online has a post like this:

"Is the computer relief Pembelian Komputer Peribadi untuk Individu usable by both myself and wife (RM3,000 each) at the same time if we file separately"

Answer: You and your wife can claim the relief which is restricted to RM3,000. This relief is allowed once every three years.

Question: Does this mean if you're married you can only get 3000 maximum out of 2 person or per person (max of 6000, meaning 3k per person) for every 3 years? The answer is not a direct one and appears to be confusing.

REfer to IRD public ruling 1/2005 para 7.3.23 example 22.

As Jothy has elected for combined  assessment with Raj, the amount of
insurance premium and EPF contribution paid by Jothy is deemed to have
been paid by Raj - (paragraph 50(2)(a) and subsection 50(3) ITA).
Therefore, Raj is deemed to have paid an amount of  RM21,300 + RM4,800
= RM26,100. However, he is entitled to a deduction of only RM5,000.

IRB ruling considered superior to MIA publication

> Since I am not working, my husband pays for my insurance policy. Can he claim this against the education and medical insurance relief?

Your husband is not allowed to claim deduction for the premium payment on education or medical insurance if the receipts are issued under your name.

Hi guys,
Need some help here.
I've got the same scenario as "dude831126".
I have joined another company in August 2010.
So how should I go about filling in the BE form?
Should I put my current company's "No Majikan" or my previous company's?
Thanks.

I signed up for TM e-statement.  Can only access the last 6 months' statements from the website.  Wanted to print at TM Point, but was first told it requires RM5, then told it is not possible, then finally they sent me some kind of payment statement for all of 2010.  Very troublesome.  Who knew trying to go green could lead to so much troubles...
