Nope. You can only claim for purchases for the previous year.

You can ask for your yr2007 tax to be review.

prudential still havnt send me the issurance report annual for last year... .

from what i know
personal taxing deduction was base on previous year only
like you buy the pc at 2007, you must declare at year 2007's assesment

you better call them asap. tax submission deadline is coming soon.

If I have claimed for a new desktop CPU last year, can I claim for a new laptop this year or can I claim for a new keyboard this year also ?

its once in 3 years dude. Not every year claim
but this got me wondering. Let's take his situation for example. If he did not claim a new PC...and kept the receipts from last year (lets say 2008) to this date...can we use those old receipts to claim?

No, it is once every 3 years.

Keyboard cannot claim, the relief is applicable for a set of computer, buying peripheral or parts are not eligible for the relief, as far as I knew.


No
Now we are submitting for YA 2009, whatever receipt or document is related to 2009 matter.

If I buy a CPU by parts(eg. Monitor, casing first, then HDD,memory, cpu, motherboard later) , is it eligible for the tax relief?

im a noob in tax deduction..in fact i jz 1st time use it...so i jz fill in all the amount according to EA form but how about tax relief like sports equipments,books,etc...i dun save a copy last year...i buy books almost every month...

shud i jz fill maximum amount? i will get penalty if i cant produce the receipt last year? correct?

so i shud head to LHDN office to fill my e-filing?

You need to be able to produce receipts to any claims you have made. Otherwise anyone can claim for any amount they like.

You may visit the local LHDN office for assistance but they'd advise you similarly as well.

Added on March 30, 2010, 12:56 pmI don't think this would qualify as a PC relief as in my opinion buying a car is totally different than buying a spare part. Another way to look at it as capital and revenue expense. Any other opinions?

The relief stated Rm3,000 is for buying computer , so spare parts is not qualified strictly speaking.

The wording is

You can always ask the LHDN officer about the issue, but I believe they will say not qualify by buying spare parts individually/separately even though you assembled yourself afterwards into a PC.

If all the parts to make up a COMPUTER is listed in a single receipt, then you can claim it.

lol ... how much your keyboard? it will make no different even goverment allow ...

and what you mean by 'claim' ?

i think he meant "tax relief", "claim" is often used by everyone

buying a printer is not within the tax relief right ?

Definitely no.

It's meant for buying computer not computer peripherals/accessories.

Not for 2009 but you can ask for revision for 2008.

I bought a house last year and right now I'm paying interest every month to bank so do I need to fill it in under housing interest?

you may also walk into any Prudential Center to get a printout copy of for Insurance Tax Relief
