guys,

My offer letter has a breakdown as such:

Basic Salary: 3,000
Car Allowance: 600
Road Tax: 75

My monthly salary is 3,675 as per the payslip with no breakdown.

So my EA form, they didnt put under section pelepasan cukai(F) category.

Cinaman company want to make my basic lower so if got bonus or increment it will be based on basic only.

So my question is, can I still alter my declaration by manually adjust to section F? because got tax relief of 6k per year which is a lot.

Please advise.

But it is rather unfair isn't it if part of my basic salary consists of car allowance elements in it?

Payslip shows total 3675. Yes the EPF contribution is on the full amount which is correct

But the only difference is that they don't split out the car allowance which was mentioned in the offer letter in detail.

And the bonus or increment is % of the basic stated in the offer letter not the gross amount in payslip which is the total.

alright. noted with thanks.

thats the thing.

I dont think it is accidental mistake but intentional mistake.

like i told you, they will award bonus & increments based on your BASIC which is 3k as per offer letter,however, the basic as per payslip is 3,675.

so there is a lost for me there already.

yes agreed.

but shouldnt the company allow the 500 out of 600 per month (Max RM6k per year) to be non-taxable allowance since it is stated it is for car allowance?

since they are also using my BASIC RM 3k as a basis for bonus and increments?

Yes, i just thought it the car allowance will be non-taxable because my friend who has RM 500 car allowance, his EA form shows RM 6k under Section F as non-taxable allowance.

oh you mean allowances not attributable to EPF contribution?

now i see.

I thought all the while the basis used must be basic salary, thats what all the people say right, 1 month of my salary as bonus, or 10% of my basic salary as increment.

I thought the company doing some fishy shxt.

not sure about the second question though. i neeed to ask.

alright noted with thanks.

so basically allowance also must contribute EPF? hmmm

guys, does purchasing second hand laptop or PC entitled for the tax relief?

No, i was thinking to ask the seller to write me up a receipt...

for instance, buying from carousell

I am just worried because i am asking for a receipt but he doesnt have it.... so maybe I plan to get a simple receipt book from popular and ask him to draft and sign on it....

not sure about that....if lets say 3 years later, he changed number or profile no longer in carousell then how?

what if i ask him to sign and put his IC at the bottom of the receipt?

yes, i am aware of the 7 years rule... but not sure if those receipts by second hand item sellers will qualify or not....

want to buy a PC but dont want to pay too much. so thought of getting a 2nd hand

so it is hard to prove so your advise is dont claim?
