Isn't the medical cost has increased which means that the premium paid (eligible for tax relief) for medical coverage portion may not be the same as last year?

I'm not able to validate this portion as I had signed up for premium increase last year.

Thanks for the confirmation.

I'm very curious due to the spike of interest in the F19 Payment for accommodation at premises registered with the Commissioner of Tourism and entrance fee to a tourist attraction.

Just wondering how much tax saving are you guys getting for just filing this tax relief?
Is it very significant compared to the tax paid?

Let's say one did utilize fully by paying RM 1000 for either or both accommodation and entrance fee.
Given the average tax bracket of an average M40 with taxable income of RM 100k to RM 250k, the tax rate is 24%.
Expected tax saving (refund due to excess) is RM 240.

RM 240 vs total paid tax of RM 46.9k

When you're at 24% to 24.5% tax rate, you have no more eyes on McD meals.

24% tax rate -> Chargeable income is RM 100k to 250k
24.5% tax rate -> Chargeable income is RM 250k to 400k

Note: It's chargeable income not gross income.

Section F is tax exempted BIK. No need to put into BE form and therefore no action required if it is still within the eligible annual limit.
It's employers responsibility to report and list out BIK.
