hard to separate the portion of the pc & subscription, somemore payment may be 24 months, how are you going to claim the tax?

if like that, can we claim it as buy netbook + free subscription? i think streamyx/celcom/maxis do have this kind of package.

as for 24month payment not sure if they got an invoice of the netbook. anyone bought before?

is there any separate invoice from dell/hp/etc from those maxis/celcom/streamyx package?

Just found out from Digi on the bundled netbook package. There is no separate invoice from HP. so no tax relief claim for digi bundle.

ronnie may be right for not claiming the LCD TV & printer(play safe) but i still think that since the government is encouraging the public on 1 PC/house, i still think that as long as it is PC stuff then it would be able to claim.  even computer printer can be claimed 40% on CA, why can't it be classified as computer gadgets?

On top of that, most of the time the IRB officer will concentrate on the declaration of income rather the claim of expenses/relief.  BTW, how do you know printer is definitely not allowed?  it would be normal if someone purchase a new PC with a printer as well.
i have bought the Streamyx PC Bundle package this year, the HP invoice clearly stated the package includes 24 months of 1mb streamyx package + notebook at a cost for RM3,813.60.  i don't think we can ignore the streamyx package on the calculation.  i think you may try to deduct the broadband portion.  Eg, RM88 x 24 = RM2,112.  Net claim = RM1,702.
refer to the previous link, if purchase PC under hire-purchase agreement, full cost can be claimed during the year of purchase.  therefore RM1,702 can be claimed in Y/A 2009.  This should be more reasonable.

can share how does the invoice looks like?
