I think golf sets are included. Same equipments included such as racquets (badminton, squash), all types of balls (golf, badminton, squash, ping pong, basketball, guli/marbles?)

Specifically not included are sports-clothings and sports shoes. So, golf shoes can or not ?

is golf shoes part of the sports shoes?

thxs.. your guys are very helpful..

Yes.....
LHDN idea of sports tax relief if you can claim tax relief up to RM300/year if the equipment you buy if the needed to make the sport complete.

Eg...
Without badminton racquet or shuttlecocks, you can't play badminton, right ? So you can claim them.
Without shoes or clothes, you can still play badminton if you have the racquet and shuttlecock, right ? So you can't claim them.

Hi,

If you are a swimmer, then you cannot claim on your swimming costume.....following your reasoning, I guess that you are right....Even if I am naked, I can still swim.....but can I do it legally

if follow what ronnie said, then for swimmer a bit disadvantages....many things can't claim...even goggles also can't claim it. i still can swim without it what~

The government is promoting naked swimming.

Sometimes the one who drafted the laws lived under the well happily ever after.
This is why for so many donkey years Inland Revenue Board has never been pro-business.

Swimming goggles can claim according one LHDN officer because it's not part of attire. But an equipment, right ?

But you dont need goggles to swim....but you need golf balls to play golf

i think is still ok if use banana leaves to cover yr body and swim~

actually that sports equipment claim is quite subjective.

anyway, i don't think IRB won't really emphasize on what you claim over there since it's only RM300 with a maximum 28%, as long as it is related to sports then no big deal!

The reason why IRB doesn't allow shoes and clothes to be included is that they want to prevent people misusing it.

As the main purpose is to give incentive for buying sport equipment for doing sport. But if shoes and shirts are allowed, definitely everyone will claim it as we or most people will buy shoes and clothing every year which is not for purposes of sport.

ya, the guideline book did emphasize that sports shoes are not allowed, therefore this is a MUST follow

how much is tax deductible if i purchase insurance policy?

KWSP + Life Insurance up to RM6,000
Medical + Education Insurance up to RM3,000

Got a question with regards to the sports equipment. How about a gym subscription? I mean, I'm not buying the equipment but I'm paying for its use. How does this work?

gym cannot claim,

If gym can claim, I also want to claim health-spa Health -> Sport also

Any of your employers asking you to fill up Borang TP1 ?

Don't think so. What type of form is it ?
