Thanks. Hopefully can get more feedback.

No more "healthy parents tax relief" from YA2021 onwards". Govt should maintain or increase it....

Hi All, FYI, my father did not find out his illness & just went for yearly checkup, but he only performed surgery after he knew about the bad result of this medical checkup. However, the medical checkup is paid by cash, but the surgery itself was claimed by insurance. For such scenario, the surgery was not claimable (already claimed by insurance), but medical checkup is claimable right? (according what u mentioned). Correct me if I'm wrong?

Check with your insurance provider... I heard / read that in some cases, if the medical check up was performed and an illness was detected after the medical check up and followed up with surgery within a certain period... The medical check cost can claim thru insurance....

Forumers give opinion based on what they know is the better answers and may in conflict with LHDN interpretation.

Every claim is different if handle by different officers.

You can submit and the computer will just process the input data and pay less tax. A tax submission and payment or refund doesnt guarantee is 'correctly' done.

The thing you should be concern is when your file is being called out, are your answers acceptable by the officer.

Even better if your file is not audited but that also doesnt mean is 'correct'.

In your parent case I should say include the claim, if is leads to the surgery. If LHDN dont allow later, then pay tax. It also depends on the amount ....some officer may ignore and give tax payer the benefit of doubts.

We are human and sometimes we can be compassionate over minor issues if is not a repeat.....that is my exp dealing with some lhdn officer.

The end result can be different, depending if when one 'plead' or 'argue',

I just discovered it after filing tax return just now. Omg! I'm getting so less 'lebihan'

I dont care.. I treat it including language course

Of course you can don't care (eventhough it is not recognized by the Department of Skills and Development.), and you can still submit to claim tax relieve, and you may also get the claimed amount automatically... 👍👍
