Depends on whether you have any income from Malaysia- rent/dividends. If not then depends on who your employer is. If Govt ie you are with Foreign ministry/other govt agencis then yes salary is taxable.

If foreign employer then ,the salary earned abroad is not taxable in Malaysia.Just return the BE form with explanation note.

Actually its from Y A 2008

With all due respect but if date of payment is 2008 the it is for YEAR OF ASSESSMENT 2008 ie the form you are currently filing.

Overseas income need not be declared in BE. Only TAXABLE income in B/BE. In your case fill in RM 0

Added on April 22, 2009, 12:35 amRM 2400 only if employers states as petrol allowance from house to office if for general allowances then NOT entitled to the exemption.

Stamp duty has got nothing to do with income tax/Borang B/BE.

Where does it state housing allowance is not subject to tax?

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

Disabled as defined by Welfare Dept i.e OKU

Get letter of confirmation of your annual salary from the employer. Else you will have to keep your pay slip as proof

That's right but it is still better if you have some sort of documentation just in case you are audited.
I say , he say is of little value.

You would be eligible if you signed an S & P between 10 Mac 2009 and 31 Dec 2010. The interest on your housing loan is tax deductible if the property is not rented out. Note if you are on those promotion by developer where interest is absorbed by developer until OC, you will not be eligible for this deduction. also for one property only.

Employer must state 2'two' kids of transport allowances
1. Allowance for expenses from home to office - RM 2400 exempted
2. Allowance for expenses for official purpose - RM 6000.00 exemped
MUST be documented clearly


Nope.

Nope

Registered with MMA(Malaysian Medical ass.)

Yes
PA is not life ins.

Just fill total at penggajian - no need to break up your employment income.

Only interest for house purchased between 10 Mac 2009 & 31 Dec 2010 is eligible for tax deduction.

Check on your copy.

If you were to look at the examples cancer , HIV, renal failure, cardiac arrest , Alzeimer given , I would not consider dengue as in the category. A better comparision is the list for critical illnesses which entitles you to claim for life insurance

Only if its the same type of property ie. set off between 2 or more residential properties. You cannot set off between different types of preperty e g . one commercial(loss) and one residential(profit).
Alternatively if total number of rental properties is more than 4, you can classify it as business source then the above condition does not apply

Nope

Nope currently limited to 3 years(I think) only.

ii. Dividend in specie no longer eligible for tax credit deduction.

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