This year

ur company will issue you an EA form (in one or two months time - ask them if they don't), and you are to file for income tax for the year 2009 by April 2010

if i bought my Apple laptop one year ago and i didnt make a claim but still have the receipt. can i get the relief ?

Not for this year but if you are eligible you can ask for revision for last year's tax(year of purchase)

i saw the relief in income tax website and it did mentioned about relief taxes which includes medical equipments. Can i purchase medical equipments like those Pharmacies are selling such as Digital Thermometer, Blood Glucose Test, Heart Rate Test etc... and submit the receipt as medical equipment purhcase for parents?

Sorry if this has been answered already, but from what I can tell from the hasil.gov.my website, the income tax forms for 2009 hasn't been released yet, correct?

think kenot ...

unless the parent can be medically defined as disabled, hard to argue "Digital Thermometer, Blood Glucose Test, Heart Rate Test etc" would be used as supporting equipment.

p/s: better idea is to just pay and keep the receipts for medical treatment for parents (Limited to RM5,000)

After reading this thread, I went through my previous tax assessment. I realised I missed filling up one portion - donation. May I know if donation to an old folks home or salvation army or MAKNA, is it filled under C8A? And, if the payment is through Maybank2u (for MAKNA) can it be used to claim for tax relief?

^ not sure abt old folks home or salvation army, but u should contact MAKNA for the tax-exempt receipts. ( i'm guessing they will mail the receipt summarizing your donations on a yearly basis)

@acougan
Thanks for the reply. It seem for old folks home and salvation army homes, there is a list of addresses which are 'accepted' for tax exampt.

I have contacted MAKNA, hope they will mail me the receipt soon

salvation army is tax exempted if i'm not mistaken. you should read the donation receipts whether they are tax exempted.

after you have gathered all the tax exempt receipts, you may revise your prior year Form B/BE if the amount is material to you

want to ask about the income tax ref number.
since i am gonna start working soon, and my company want my income tax number. (this is my first time working, didn't apply anything yet)
can i know where to get this?
thanks

you can apply it at the IRB branch and i am not sure whether is there any e-registration

@ShinAsuka
Go to the nearest LHDN, photostat your IC and payslip and request for Income Tax Number.
If there is no PCB on your salary slip, normally they will tell that you do not need to apply for one.
For the time being, tell your HR that you have not gotten your income tax number but will inform them when you got it.

icic
i dun even hv any payslip yet lol
thanks
