Would like to get feedback regard this tax exempt benefit:
(d) Leave passage for travel (confined only to the employee and members of his immediate family i.e. spouse and children):
- within Malaysia not exceeding three times in any calendar year (cost of fares, meals and accommodation); or
- between Malaysia and any place outside Malaysia not exceeding one passage in any calendar year, is limited to a
maximum of RM3,000 (only cost of fares);
Read from a book that if our company does not provide this benefit, we can suggest to the company to replace guranteed bonus with this to reduce paying tax. If the company agreed how do we go about it?
Do we need to submit receipts when claiming from the company?
Does cost of fare include taxi, car rental, boat, cruise during the trip?
Only meals with receipt can claim?
Thanks in advance.
For domestic flights, fares + meals and accommodation is applicable. You'll need to get the receipts and company documents for record purposes.
As for international flight, only fares are applicable. Cost of accommodation, foods and allowances are not applicable. You can only claim fares.
