I think you made a mistake on this " 27k a year then taxable ... means 2.25k++ a month ... but if someone with 2k a month, he could be taxable as well if he get 3-4 months bonus at the same year ".

Should be RM2,500 Per month or RM30K per year. then it is taxable.

From RM27k a year and above is about right to start paying minimum tax. (few ringgit worth of tax).

I think the RM2.5k per month you've mentioned is referring to the STD/PCB schedule. Altough you earn less than RM2.5k per month, you could still be subject to tax even if you don't have bonus. However though, the tax liability will be very minimal.

have a question here.
income tax is for previous year of assessment, which mean this year we are doing the income tax declaration for year 2008.
here's the question, does it mean from Jan '08 to Dec '08 or from Mac/April '08 (the month we pay tax) to Mac/April '09?

reason behind this question is that suddenly i receive another EA form from my previous company. i'm really confused to the max here of which amount to declare. at first was clear till my previous company suddenly send me another EA form.

Declare tax from Jan-Dec.

Look closely at your previous company EA form. If it is for salary Jan'08 to Dec'08, then you will declare it in year 2009. If it is salary for Jan'09 to Mar'09, then keep the EA form and declare it in year 2010.

thanks for the clarification.

the situation is like this.
I was working for my previous company from 2007 till May 2008 and join new company on the following week till present.
Previously, after i quitted my previous company, they gave me an EA form indicating an amount of money (which i presume it should be salary from Jan 08 till May 08). The tile of the EA form is written "Till December 2008". (let say the amount of gross salary is around RM11K)

Then yesterday, i received an additional EA form from my previous company again. the amount of gross salary is around RM2K. which making me believe that it should be for May 08 (that month itself). It's quite confusing.

Call up and get clarificaiton from your previous Jan-May'08 employer. If it is clear up as e.g. salary after leaving or bonus paid, etc. then just total up for Penggajian:
Jan-May'08 + May'08 extra + Jun-Dec'08 new job
= 11k + 2k + ??k

you payslip got PCB deduction? if got you have to deal with LHDN already..but i dont think you salary range is taxable but you still have to declare with LHDN.

ANY GUIDELINESS AS TO THE RELIEF AND WAY TO REDUCE TAXABLE INCOME?

thanks a lot. i called LHDN that day and ask regarding if they provide any consultation on how to declare your income tax. something like you take your documents to accountancy firm for them to help you to fill the income tax. they said yes, they do provide such help. but is it wise idea? it's like they will dig out my record and it'll be hard for me to "run tax".

but here's the situation, i have an amount of income undeclared in 2007 and i've paid the PCB (RM137) and i feel over these years, i been paying more than what i should be. seeking for direct help from LHDN might help me to clear up everything. but seriously, i'm not sure if this is wise move. can anyone help me in this? or anyone tried their help before?

hi, need some help with my tax deduction.

under my EA form, it is stated elaun: Touch n GO. That means i can deduct it from my total salary right? cause i do not see any column for travel expenses.

I heard that this year assessment, transport allowance & mobile phone bill paid by employer are exempted from tax. It was stated in my payslip too so it's been taxed under PCB.

Now I can't find any section in e-filing (Borang BE) to fill in this exemption. Can anyone help on this?

Thanks!

Can I print the copy of the BE and Slip Pengesahan after I submit the details online ?
Eg. submit at home but print in office

Forget about your pay slips. You should fill up your BE Form using details from your EA Form. When the pay slips were prepared, the exemptions were not announced yet.

If the incomes are exempted, you do not have to fill up in your Form BE. Only taxable income are required to be filled up in Form BE.

Added on April 11, 2009, 10:18 pmAll non-taxable income are group together and appear in Item G in your Form EA. These income do not need to be declared. If your 'Touch n' Go' appears in in any other item other than G, it is taxable. You should ask your HR department why they treat this as a taxable item. They may have their reasons.

worst case scenario is you file it correctly and pay more, its a good lesson to learn from the reliable correct source

trust me, this kacang putih not consider run tax, your experience after visiting them may help you really run tax in future ... go lah.

other states not sure coz no first hand experience, but above should generally apply everywhere
