First question, what are the fees included under RM43,000? Only medical fees or part of it is the purchase of supporting equipment?
Under the income tax law, you can claim a relief of medical expenses for parents and purchase of basis supporting equipment for disabled person of RM5,000 each. In order for you to make the former claim, the medical fee must be charged by a medical practitioner registered with Malaysian Medical Council. For the latter claim, the basis supporting equipment purchased is only for the use of a disabled person. "Disabled person" is to be defined as an individual certified in writing by the Department of Social Welfare of Malaysia.
With the above basic information, i would think that you can only eligible for the first RM5,000 (max) claim in respect of the medical expenses incurred on your mother. However, you can spare the balance medical expenses with your siblings so that your siblings' tax payable will be reduced accordingly. In such, the aggregate tax payable for the household will be reduced.
