want to ask.
1. Quesetion about EPF and Insuraces
Eg.
EPF $6500
Life Insurance $3000
Medical Insurance $550
In Tax form, can i claim as follow?
Insurace and EPF =6000
Medical and education insurance ($3000X60% + $550)=2350
2. If i took some IT professional Certification Exam. Am i elligle to claim for tax deduction? under Education Fee?
Tax deductible
EPF + Life Insurance
= 6500 + 3000
= 9500
= 6000 (max deductible)
Medical & Education insurance
= 550 only (max 3000)
You cannot simply pro-rate 60%.
Also if it is explicitly stated as Life Insurance, you can't split it up.

for the tablet, can you double confirm as i have been receiving mixed response?
according to my accountant (and his circle of tax accountant friends) - only sports equipment, like racquets, bicycle, golf clubs, etc can be claimed
shoes or shirts cannot be claimed. if you ride bicycle competitively, new parts for the bikes (eg new chain or new brakes) also cannot be claimed
if you can confirm that shuttlecocks can be claimed, it'd be nice. i have a few hundreds ringgit worth of shuttlecocks. sadly, only rm300 limit.
Shoes, clothes (even swimming attire) cannot claim.
Racquets and shuttlecock can.
Bicycle & its parts, I'm not sure.
