I just read that "membership to professional bodies can be deducted from tax.
Such membership must be relevant to their duties."
My question is.. under which section can the fees be deducted?
Deduct direct with your gross salary and enter net salary on your Borong BE

Check our policy. If you konk off before maturity what happens? If beneficiary receives assured amount then by definition its a form of life policy. If beneficiary receives nothing then obviously its not.
From wiki
A life annuity is a financial contract in the form of an insurance product according to which a seller (issuer) — typically a financial institution such as a life insurance company — makes a series of future payments to a buyer (annuitant) in exchange for the immediate payment of a lump sum (single-payment annuity) or a series of regular payments (regular-payment annuity), prior to the onset of the annuity.
The payment stream from the issuer to the annuitant has an unknown duration based principally upon the date of death of the annuitant. At this point the contract will terminate and the remainder of the fund accumulated is forfeited unless there are other annuitants or beneficiaries in the contract. Thus a life annuity is a form of longevity insurance, where the uncertainty of an individual's lifespan is transferred from the individual to the insurer, which reduces its own uncertainty by pooling many clients. Annuities can be purchased to provide an income during retirement, or originate from a structured settlement of a personal injury lawsuit.
Good information. So, it mean that;
(1) Normal life insurance-The insured(buyer)/beneficiary get one lump sum upon dealth/maturity.
(2) Annuity Scheme Insurance -The insured get a series of fixed payment monthly like goverment pension fund until the insured dealth.
Thus, the additional RM 1000 insurance relief is only applicable to (2) only.
