as per the latest feedback from one of our members here, you need to start from FIA instead of ACCA F1 even for mature students (21 years old and above)

ITA and Pioneer Status you need to apply to Ministry of Finance or MIDA. RA you don't need to apply, you can just claim if you feel that you are qualified. RA is limited to manufacturing/agricultural (rearing chickens and ducks) companies while ITA and Pioneer status are not.

Capital intensive projects will better go for ITA instead of Pioneer Status. Those cash cows/high level profit companies better go for Pioneer Status. 2 of them are mutually exclusive (choose either one). ITA and Pioneer Status are awarded to approved projects such as R & D, agriculture, tourism (hotels) etc.

RA is only for manufacturing/agricultural companies who meets the criterias, such as modernisation. The definition of manufacturing was redefined by IRB in 2010 (IINM) therefore read carefully. The scope that ITA claims should be wider than RA

medical check up can claim up to RM500 annually under the self medical fees relief. part time studies can claim personal relief depends on what field you are studying. this should be the list you can claim - law, accounting, Islamic financing, technical, vocational, industrial, scientific or technological skills or qualifications
