Hi tax experts, I need some help

I am employed full-time in public sector in technical position, and roughly three months ago a company has contracted me to some side gigs (e.g repair services, consultation services) - around 2-3 times this year, and they have paid me around 150-200 ringgit per visit.

The company has recently asked for my tax identification number to fill CP58.

Question:
Do I need to declare income from such non-regular side gigs during tax filing next year? I don't remember the exact amount they paid me already, because I'm paid in cash. The total amount they paid me for all the services provided should be around RM 400-600, but I don't know the exact figure anymore.

Not a tax expert here.
Previously, did you issue them any invoice or did you sign any payment receipt notes issued by your customers after received cash payment from them or did they banked the payment directly into your bank account?

I think, .....Yes, any side income earned in Malaysia, if hv evidence of you receiving payment for it should be declared together with your yearly ITR filing.
If not sure of the exact number, use the highest one.
Ha ha

Just noticed that this year tax reliefs for sports and gym, expanded to include parents. I have bought pickleball bats for parents, but then notice pickleball was not in the recognised sports activities (as per this Tax Relief link I found from reddit). Anyone can confirm?

Hi, I made substantial withdrawal from PTPTN and deposit into EPF at the beginning of the year. the year end has come, I need to deposit 8k + whatever withdrawn.

problem is the withdrawn amount that is placed in EPF is difficult to be taken out, can I submit children university bill to substantiate ? or just skip 1 year.

Since money is tight
If for me, i would just skip 1 year , dont deposit again this year, since I had already taken out that money this year.
I would just hv my spouse contribute this year and hv my spouse claim tax relief this year.

Since money is tight, instead of returning whatever I had taken out this year + 8k to qualify for max tax relief, I would just ask myself spouse to put in 8k to get max tax relief this year.

If the uni bill can match the withdrawn amount (uni bill same or more than withdrawn amount), then can check with lhdn......I think can.
But if the uni bill is 80k but you withdrawn 100k, then i think must top up balance 20k + 8k.
