I think so long the audio books is purchased from bookstore, it is easy to explain.

Don't lar buy audio cd from DVD store  like speedy or pasar malam and then want to claim it as audio book. Hard to convince people also lar.

Does RM600 sounds like speedy or pasar malam to you?

I spend $15 on Audible.com monthly for their Gold membership 

I think there is a leaflet attached together with your be form. You can check there.
Basically, what i read is only your house S&P is sign 2008-2009, and also your house is not rented out. 
The PCB is the  pembayaran cukai berjadual something near the total tax have to pay column.

(just check the leaflet)

Supercomputer is a very expensive equipment, probably would be half the size of a room, if you can afford to buy it just to reduce your tax, then why not?

Some allowance are exempted and some are not. Better check what category of allowance it belong to.

hi, is standby allowance taxable? my employer put it in tip kasar, thank you.

Hi, everyone.. i would like to ask about 'pelepasan cukai' stated in bahagian D2
I've to pay RM130/mth for my dad's medication, can i put it under D2?

1. I bought medical insurance for my parents. Is this claimable as a tax relief for me?

2. I buy books. The Receipt states
Net Sale RM120.50
Master Card RM87.50
Voucher RM5.00
MPH club Rebate RM28.00

So.. can I claim RM120.50, or just RM87.50?

Syd G, if you can claim that then let me know, I'm on the platinum plan.

Hi, I worked as a consultant and need to travel frequently. Can i deduct the travel/petrol allowance which is RM 2400 from my income tax? if yes, under which section?

Edit: or is it directly deduct from gross salary?

If I'm not mistaken you have to add the travel/petrol allowance to your income tax instead of deducting it.....

if were to deduct, put under which section?

travelling and petrol allowances are 2 different things. travelling is treated as employee benefit in terms of vacation or work related travelling expenses (restricted to certain amount) whereas petrol allowance is treated as part of your income under section 13(1)(b). if your petrol allowance is less or equivalent to RM6000, then you dont have to include in your income: if it's more than RM6000, the extra allowance will be taxable.

** I could be wrong regarding the amount.

Guys!~ need some quick answer~ In my EA form under;
G Jumlah Elaun/Perkuisit/Pemberian/Manfaat Yang Dikecualikan Cukai - I have a lum some here, where do I fill up in the E-Form?

if were to deduct, put under which section?

If I'm not mistaken you have to add the travel/petrol allowance to your income tax instead of deducting it.....

check your EA form or consult your HR

suppose your HR already deduct for you in your EA

example, let said your total earning is 70500 and 500 is your travel allowance ...

so in your EA, your total earning should be 70000 ...

and there should be additional statement behind the EA form to show the total deduction for travel allowance ...

What makes you think the kidmad is talking about allowances?

The amount is included in the EA form and listed under Elaun/Perkuisit which is part of the total earnings, not part of allowances/expenses.

did i reply to kidman statement ?
