Hi!
If husband/wife file income tax separately.. i believe husband can get a tax relief for wife (RM3K).

As for the wife, when she files her own income tax, can she also get the Rm3k tax relief for having a husband?

Oh.. So, there's no spouse tax relief for separate assessment.. Thank you guys.. I appreciate it. (I'm so glad it is not there for separate assesment. Otherwise, I gonna feel lots of regrets for not filing the spouse tax relief for the past many year .. if it is there).

Hi guys.. When filing income tax, in the dividend section (HK-3), there's a column to enter warrant or voucher no.

However, my warrant no is longer than I could enter. For example, warrant no is something like this DH1300001234567 (15 charactors & digits), but in e-filing, the maximum it can accept is 14 charactors/digits..

What should I do?

LHDN can see there's extra PCB debited from your incometax account, but it's not shown in your e-filing (because you choose not to declare the arrears income & arrears PCB paid). So, there's a mismatch there between what LHDN see vs what you've file in e-filing.

If you happen to get audited, definitely they'll ask you to come to LHDN, either to punish you, or to ask you to fix your income tax filing ..

They can see there's extra PCB debited, but they cannot see how much is your arrears income. So, LHDN can't calculate or make sure that that extra PCB is either overpaid or underpaid..

In other words, if you don't declare the "Pendapatan tahun kebelakang", it's like you tell LHDN.. "Okay, I paid my extra PCB already, but I won't tell you how much extra/arrears income I actually get. Just trust me that the PCB I paid is correct, and not underpaid".

my friend and I have received the refund too..

I filed on 1st March too.. But my friend submitted e-filing 1 week later than me, yet he received the refund earlier few days than me.

Hi!
Can I get tax relief for purchasing recreational bicycles, like those bicycles sold in Giant? I had bought one for my kid..

Tq

Cycling is indeed a sport activity, but the bicycle is not consumable.. So, I cannot claim tax relief for buying bicycle, is it? I need someone to confirm that my understanding is correct..

Yes, because income tax is based on annual income.. in your case, your annual income = 180 days salary..
So, you still have to declare and file your income tax..

Prudential should have itemized your statement already.. It should look something like this.
You can see clearly the first amount is for insurans nyawa & kwsp, and the second amount if for your education & medical insurance..

computer part definitely cannot get tax relief..

Unless, you buy computer parts that can build a complete pc including monitor, keyboard, mouse, ram, hard disk, motherboard, power supply, etc, then, this one, you can get a tax relief..

Answers are in red.

Hi All..

How do I make a 'rayuan'.

LHDN send me a letter, request me to pay more for tax some many years ago. But the way they calculated is wrong because they don't consider the PCB that I've paid.. sighh..

So, how do I make rayuan. Should I
-write a letter and mail it back to Ketua Pengarah or
-write a letter and come by to Pejabat Imigresen or
-Just drop by to pejabat imigresen and discussed about it there?

Please advise.

Actually, this for taksiran year 2005. Earlier this year, I went to LHDN and filed my 2005 income tax form, because I didn't file it last time. The late filing is not an issue here.. They accepted my filing, and the tax amount I have to pay is RM167 (Before pcb deduction). In my EA form, the pcb for year 2005 is RM135. So, total I have to top up should be RM32.

Now, a few months later, I believe they went to through the form that I submitted and requested me to pay RM167 + rm60 (penalty). In the letter, they showed how they calculated the amount, and clearly in the calculation, they don't deduct the PCB that I've paid.

So, now, I have to do rayuan to tell them that they didn't deduct my pcb. Instead of RM167 + penalty, it should be RM32 + penalty only. So, this is what I'm asking here. How to do the rayuan.


(On the other hand, I'm also suspicious about this old company. The company was closed down due to financial problem. It could be the company deducted my salary for pcb and recorded in my EA form, but it didn't actually submit the money to LHDN. So, probably LHDN sent me a letter to simply say they didn't have my PCB record.. Just my speculation though. )

I think I still have the slip.

Tq for your advise. I'll mail them a letter soon..

Yes.

Nope, cannot simply claim just because it is for charity, because lhdn clearly states, it must be from approved list of organizations..

if your maximum tax bracket is, let say 23%, since the divident tax is paid at 25%, that means you can get 2% refund.. (this is simplified calculation for easier understanding).
