Dear all,

I need your helpful advice.
I have been offered a quite well paid job, through a recruitment agency. However the pre-condition for such an offer is that I have to pay this agency some commission equivalent to the two months' salary.
My question is :--- In my year end declaration for personal income tax (It is quite obvious that the new income will attract a substantial amount of income tax), can I deduct the commission from my employment income, thereby attracting lesser tax? Is this allowable under the current income tax practice?
Can some good advice be had, please.
