If to make the gov tax us less during the bad economy time is almost impossible la looking at how our gov is now. I guess that is why TS and most probably others(including me) are all looking at ways to get tax relief. Im sure we can use our own creative ways to make sure we pay less in tax every year. Such as taking someone else's book receipt, take life insurance, charity, zakat etc. People who are not aware of these tax relief are in a even worse condition since they just pay whatever the gov ask them to pay.

I think this thread is actually a good idea since can make more people aware of tax relief so that they can legally take advantage of it. Maybe if we can compile a list of legal ways to reduce the tax that we are paying and then later pin this thread so that it can be useful to others. Just my opinion..
