I have few questions regarding to this PRS,
1. How to calculate the "first 10 years tax relief" ? its start on since 2012, or the year that we start invest in the PRS ?
2. in what condition, we are able to withdraw all the amount in PRS? except for the account B 30% withdrawal with 8% penalty.
3. Is it really worth the RM3000 tax relief annually to invest on the PRS? what do u guys personally think of this?
4. Is there any PRS that can allow us to set our own duration of the investment?
for example like 10 years or 20 years later able to withdraw full amount .
1. From the year you invested. Valid for Rm3k tax relief (helps to bring down your tax bracket) only. Which means if you put in RM3k into any PRS 2017, you can claim RM3k tax relief in March 2018 (income tax month). If you put in RM4k in 2017, come March 2018, you can claim only RM4k.
2. You can withdraw all out if you give up your citizenship or reach 55 years old.

No penalty on that.
3. For me is worth. Why?
i) govt give you way to pay less tax, you don't want?
ii) money put into PRS is still your own money and can be withdraw in full once reach 55 years old. Money paid as tax is not your money anymore

iii) But money lock up leh... Mana bagus? That's why must choose good fund which
- able to beat inflation
- able to beat bank promo FD rates
- able to beat Amanah saham/EPF
Every sen saves from paying less tax = money available for investing
4) Nope. One way ticket for as long as tax relief is there. If no more tax relief, won't contribute. Hehehe...
