look at your statement, normally there will be 2 amount. Principal + interest = RM 1,441. add up all the interest , thats the interest you can claim in relief (MAX RM10k).

Added on March 1, 2012, 10:49 amEA form is the name, its your annual income from the company and an evident to show LHDN, so thats your income if the Company apply for you then its good, just make sure to ask them to apply for 2012! meaning your 1st income will be on jan 2012 , so that you can skip 2011 tax return!! O.O

Thanks a lot!

I don't think can skip the Dec 2011 income, anyway for me it doesn't matter.
Because after deduct off the FY2011 personal relief, I don't have to pay for anything for FY2011.

I do prefer to just do everything proper, so that hasil doesn't come after me and even if they do I have proof that I did everything correctly.

on a side note, the question about whether we purchase 2 or more computers, can we claim a total of RM3000 relief or is it just 1 computer?

Also, I went through hasil's website, but it doesn't state much about combined/spouse tax filing and their allowances/relief.

I can only find the rebate @ RM400 per person.

Next question assuming this scenario:

This year wife not working but there are shares under her name. So tax vouchers are under her name.

Can we do joint assessment? Or would separate assessment be better?

If we do joint assessment for the year, in future if she starts working, can she then do individual assessment?

my bloody ex-boss is not giving me my ea form, can i just total up my income and deductions using my payslips?

if the wife has not work before then you can not elect for join assessment . but nowadays i dun think ppl will join assessment

Yes if you did not get your EA form, u can use your payslip as supporting as EA is just the summary of your 12 monthly payslips data

Noted with thanks

Thank you on this.

What about computers?

Because this is a grey area, doesn't exactly state clearly on the website as well.

according to public ruling 'a' personal computer for non- business use.

Okay, thanks.

If you want to do proper tax filing, declare Dec-2011 also.
I can tell you if you get audited deep down, it is so easy to find your income in 2011, e.g. LHDN can ask KWSP for all your EPF contribution

Monthly PCB +/- RM10-20 or even RM20-100+ is quite normal, especially on the month you receive extra commission, bonus, etc. Just let it be. Submit your tax once a year and you'll get all those numbers sorted out.
Then you can either get back some money from LHDN (over-deduct on PCB) or top-up to pay the tax (under-deduct).

Officially, it follows 1 computer receipt. Choose the more expensive one.
Unless the computer shop is willing to help you on the invoice as 1 PC = RM3,000.

This year wife not working (YA2012) , will only submit next year 2013.
If you mean your wife not working in 2011 (YA), then do a combined assessment.

Yes, if she starts working again, then can do separate assessment. There is a tickbox in page 1 or 2 of the form.

what if wife not working but got some small amount of commision from doing property sales of less than rm5K only?

can we ignore it and declare as wife not working?

If wife not working and ZERO income for YA2011, do she still need to file for BE form YA2011 ?

If wife never work before? Like now housewife.
Can still do combined assessment? Or she cannot even be included?

Also, I had no other income in 2011 except for dec 2011.
No commissions nothing, so my PCB does not fluctuate, but no idea how they calculate as it is not as per the schedule 2010.

IF your wife had not work before, you can not elect for joint assessment. She must have total income for previous years.

as for pcb, there are 2 method. computerised and schedule. in fact, computerised will be more accurate. u can get the calculator from LHDN website as well.

Also, when you mean total income over the years.
What if shares were bought in her name?
Dividend qualifies for income, so can that be used for joint assessment?

Ah okay, thanks.
Appreciate it.

let put it this way, if your wife did not submit tax return before and has no income for this year. then u can not joint with her.

2 types of dividend, 1 = tax exempted and 2 = taxable. please refer to the dividend slip, if it is not tax exempted then they have already deduct the % from your dividend. you need to calculate and see if you can refund for the tax paid . go to LHDN website, is should have the calculation working paper. its kinda complicated for me to list how to do so, so better go dl the worknig paper and flw step by step. or else look for some tax agent to do it for you. and yes, if ur wife received div she has to file in tax return.

anyone able to login to efiling for BE form now? I get some weird error when login...

I was able to login this morning.

how about now? Can u try and let me know?
