So guys, time to go buy Apple iPads to claim Computer Tax Relief.

let me try to claim the ipad as pc rebate, see wat would happen...

By that time we know, it'll be mid of next year.

interestingly, i got a reply from Machines Customer Service that said


is iPad considered as Tablet Computer at all?

So the iPad is still questionable?

500, and it has to be register under your name. relief is not for the payer but the owner of the broadband subscriber.

if i subscribe to celcom broadband mobile internet, is it applicable for income tax relief

Yes .....

should i go to the celcom and ask for the statement for the broadband?

I have subscribed to Streamyx 1 mbps at rm99/mth and get a FREE HP pc, since then, TM didnt send me any bill, instead my bank charged me and appeared as "HEWLETT-PACKARD-E24-MOTO" in my credit card bill.

Question: How to proof to tax department in case they audit for my claim of rm500?

Thanks in advance

You should have your monthly streamyx statement (RM99 per month) from TM, right?

boohoo ... tax increase from 3% to 7% ...
what a so called-tax relieved from 8000 - 9000. its the same thing ..

Never bill me for the past 23 months as bank will direct pay to HP.

I'm not quite sure on this but worth to try. Since you have the streamyx id, you should have an account with TM. Try log in to that streamyx accs and try whether there is online bill/statement. Or look for some sort of usage report in that accs or even the proof to indicate you are the registered owner for the streamyx line.

I called their customer service d, and they also dont know how to settle this. Think maybe need to pay a visit to TM.

Anyone having same predicament here

Quite complicated, isn't u have to pay to Telekom, why paid to HP?

You should have unique streamyx id, use that id to register an online account in TM website. I just log into my accs, can view the bills online as well as payment history & etc.

This is a package TM with HP. Previously I paid rm77/mth, (maybe rm88, cant remember) then during HP fair, they encouraged me to pay rm99 for 2 years and can have a small compac PC which they called bundle. Since then, my bank will pay RM99 to HP (wonder what TM profit from this deal??? as I am already streamyx user.... )

Now really dont know should I claim rm500 or just forget about it...

U paid to HP, HP paid to TM. TM provide streamyx, but u are not directly pay to TM. U don't have TM's bill as evidence for this. Here is the issue......So, only TM can help u to solve the problem OR as nemo2 said if u streamyx account has detail listing ( U are genuie register, you IC Number, streamyx fee listing-definately not RM 99 per month)and able to print out as prove, then should be ok! But, u must take the risk that Tax Authority might condemn that u have made a fake copy for this.
