1. I saw previous posts saying if deposit end of the year and withdraw early of next year eligible for tax relief, is it still the same now?
see post 1202, page 61?

4. Anywhere i can compare differences between SSPN vs SSPN-i (if still available) ?
cannot confirm, but looks like they added i (for internet) and obsolete the non i type

some FAQs...
Saya telah mempunyai akaun SSPN-i, adakah saya boleh membuka akaun SSPN-i Plus?
Boleh. Pendeposit yang telah mempunyai akaun SSPN-i boleh membuka akaun SSPN-i Plus tanpa perlu menutup akaun SSPN-i.

Thx clear now.

Few more questions..
1. Saw earlier some said new account now can only make withdrawal after 1 or 3 years, and also limit 1 withdrawal per year, can confirm? https://www.ptptn.gov.my/pengeluaran-penutu...aun-sspn-i-side did not mentioned about it.

2. Tax relief up to 8K/year meaning how much do i need to deposit a year? Deposit 8K get 8K tax relief? https://www.ptptn.gov.my/pelepasan-taksiran...kai-sspn-i-side did not mentioned about it.

You deposit 8k to reduce your taxable income by 8k.
How much tax is being saved depends on which tax bracket are you in.

The tax relief is based on nett deposit of the assessment year.

Can draft a simple example?

This tax relief should be file under which section? probably that will be clearer to me.

Is there still tax exemption of 6K by deposit SSPN for 2019? Meaning claim income tax in 2020..

From 2019, the Government has increased the tax relief amount for SSPN deposits by parents from RM6,000 to RM8,000 a year.
This is an additional RM2,000 that you can get back from the Government to offset your annual income tax from previous years, making it an extremely lucrative savings plan (provided your annual income tax is high enough to claim the full amount!)

So PTPTN has already announced the dividend of SSPN-i for 2018 on 29Jan2019. Am I allowed to withdraw most of the SSPN-i including the dividend for my child's local college education and leave a couple of hundreds in the balance?

Yes you can. You can also close off the account.

Shouldnt I keep the account in case  I  need to get loan for Tertiary education?

I think right now SSPN is linked to Income Tax. It will auto-fill up the tax relief $ under SSPN column. No more manual fill in.

Yup. Same case here

thanks for confirming....the auto fill.
so now I no need to print out a copy from SSPN and keep liao

Yup. Same case here

Quick question on the RM8k tax relief for 2019. If I deposit RM8k end of Dec 2019 also entitle for tax relief right? Reason is I am still earning FD interest of 4.38% if I don't deposit now.
