I think he asking whether buying books in USD (example Amazon) can.

Why take the risk? If someone bad mood then you get charged 100% more for tax, worth it?

Last time that happened to me (non-declaration because not working a few years while studying) I just went to their office to rayu and all settled without paying anything. Rather than ignore...

No comment on the politics, but submitting late still has penalty. Its considered a form of tax evasion. Its not a crime, that's why no jail time.

Are there issues with the earlier years for you? If so then better just to pay up. Doesn't mean you won't be audited later though.

They have. Have you read it? I don't have the details, but when I first started paying income tax I read through the laws and regulations I recall basically any false/late declaration will be charged at 100% minimum.

Basically you are saying 'don't pay' as if they'll forget about it. This is LHDN not DBKL or whatever. They won't forget, and they can come after you any time unless you can leave the country. Go and settle, or go and rayu. Don't ignore.

No, if I working there sure people curse me one =)

Of course everyone will deduct, but there's specific categories and comes with proof. Petrol/toll can deduct if its allowances given by your company.

To my understanding no.

Most of us spend our own money to come to work, so if this is allowed sure we all want to claim. But cannot simply deduct, everything must be justified and according to various regulations.

If separately there's no category for tax relief from having spouse. It used to be (think still is) RM8k, but only if file jointly.

Question - the RM5k deductible for parent's medical expenses can it be used for buying prescription medication (e.g. those for cholesterol etc)? How to prove (i.e. what evidence should I file away)?

Thanks, that makes sense then.

EA form came di, just logged in to e-filing.

My EA form jumlah potongan doesn't match (is lower than) the amount which is shown on e-filing (which is calculated by LHDN). Why the discrepency? I don't have my individual payslips with me to doublecheck, but will do so Monday.

They don't verify now, but later on you may randomly kena audited, then they'll just ask you to provide proof.

Meaning there's a chance if you never get audited that you can get away with lying.

But check the rules on what happens if you're caught eh, not worth it.

One is for parents, one is for self, spouse, and child.

If you spend for mom you claim.

Your dad also can claim for mom. But double claim same receipt is not allowed.

Yes

Yes, just logon and submit 0 income. If a few years you never submit they'll investigate you, then you have to go over to their office to rayu (happened to me while doing post-grad studies), waste time only.

No point to claim rebate as taxable income won't ever go lower than 0 (so you won't get free money).

No cash value means you don't get taxed for it. How to deduct some more?

'Selewat-lewatnya 30 hari' means worst case scenario of at most 30 days, why you translate become at least 30 days?

If company save on EPF meaning you're getting less money.... EPF is your money, and gets higher interest than any bank account savings/FD you have.

Ah, big earner and kiam siap company. My company's EPF is 17% =p and my tax not yet reach 20+.

Submitted 21st March, also got today

You mean consistently year-on-year or that within same year cannot both claim same child?
