Any details for this? Can I claim tax relief for the sport shoes?
Thank you.

Well, we have to differentiate between reliefs and rebates. Reliefs in a way reduces your taxable income, and as for rebates, it reduces your tax payable. That's the different.

As for monthly tax deduction, usually stated as PCB (Potongan Cukai Bulanan) or STD (Schedular Tax Deduction), it depends on your current marriage status and also how many kids you have, then your employer deduct it accordingly. They have the deduction table and they just follow there. As far as I know from the deduction table, deduction starts if your monthly salary is RM2,500 and above. You can refer the table here. However, i think there will be 2008 ammendment due to rate changes starting YA2008. You can refer the table here. PCB deduction table doesn't take into account of any other reliefs, other than your EPF contribution, self relief, wife relief and children reliefs.

The big question, how do we claim the other reliefs that we can claim, like insurance, books, medical expenses, etc? At the end of a year, your employer will give you a form called Borang EA. This form is a summary of your gross taxable income, your EPF contribution and your PCB paid. When the IRB opened their e-filing website, login to your own form and fill it. When it comes to the reliefs part, just key in the amount that you want to claim (books, insurance, etc), and the e-filing system will automatically compute your tax. Then you will know whether your monthly deduction is enough to cover your tax payable for that year or not. If not enough, you can use maybank2u to pay, and if overpaid, just wait for refund from the IRB.

To be exact, RM24,906/ year will not be taxable.
RM2,075/ month.
Assumed EPF at 11%, personal relief of RM8,000, Rebate RM350 and no other relief for single with no child.
But if you go IRB and tell them you want to declare for income tax with not much salary for them to tax, they might just ask you 'baliklah, if need declare we will inform you'. 

im also quite blur with the exemption no.2.

is it meaning my streamyx bill can get exemption? but what kind of exemption since it's part of my expenses.

I mean first RM24,907 is not taxable. Amount after that is taxable.
But that's based on an individual with taxable income of less than RM35,000. No kid, not married and have no other relief. Each individual might have different figure, that's just some rough indication only.

Last time we use to have trouble to open that account with IRB, maybe they had improved over the years. Or maybe those officers think we will never pay anything towards building of our nation.

so, the streamyx exemption in your example will become realised? or have to wait for ruling to come out in more details?

You are wrong man.
You can only claim streamyx IF ONLY your employer provides such benefit for you.

@attahun

Have tested with your calculator bro. Make life easier

From the summary at bottom, total we have to pay ... don't we already pay by deducted salary each month ?
I wonder does many of you guys put exactly information on your income ... cos if income high, have to pay more tax ...
or you guys just simply put low salary and exclude the allowances
How about the relief like mag etc ?

and do many of you guys overpaid or underpaid your tax to gov ?

Just curious, I bought a PC from Dell recently. I just got an invoice from them. Can I use this invoice to say that I have bought the PC? If I am not mistaken invoice is just a document mentioning what you intend to buy from the company while receipt is an acknowledgement of payment?

Invoice represent the fact that transaction had been perform and you owe dell that amount of money (if you haven't paid), a receipt is just to close the loop (to prove consideration had been received), sometime invoice will mention that amount had been prepaid etc. IRB will care less whether you pay dell or not, that's something between you & dell, none of their concern

any tax payer can confirm how often they check receipt of proof ?

What if I put less salary in my BE .. like exclude my allowances etc etc ?

as I know, they don't need our JE form for declare income right ?

U guys know how long it takes to refund? i heard many people said it takes forever! But from your experience?

Seem like very serious case

But I see like majority of my colleague doesn't even bother about income tax thingy, in MNC somemore

I went to LHDN yesterday ... BE 2006 and 2007 have to submit manual.
I ask for the pin, they say April only got ... each pin valid for a year onli

normally if manual submit, just give the BE will do ? Do i need to wait for their feedback or whatever thing ?

I got an assignment to do.
The topic is on personal relief,whether it is enough or not..
I am going to conduct a survey on that topic
but then I got no idea to ask in my questionnaire...
anyone could help me...

Thanks all !

What I mean is, after I submit ... do I need to wait their feedback ?

Do I get to confirm on my rebate instantly ?

thanks attahun..

one more Q,
the min salary that should pay tax?

thanks to you all..
where can i get salary bracket,or tax bracket? im not really sure the term for it..

Hi guys..... i got some questions here:
1) I started to work on June 07 but i didn't submit the BE 07 last year & somehow my ex company helped me to register with LHDN already. So do i need to re-submit the BE 2007 or do i just pretend that i had forgotten about it? 

2) This year, i'm going to declare my tax. So do i just need to fill in the BE 08 & submit it to LHDN by postage? Anyway, i'm not too sure how to fill in the BE form, can i go to the LHDN office & ask for the officers there to fill in for me? 

3) As my annual income is less than 30k, will they (LHDN) even bother to entertain me? I heard one of my fren said the officer tell him to "balik" when he went there 

Hi attahun, thanks for the repy 
1) i guess i can't use E-Filing anymore as it's already year 2008. So do i have to go to the nearest LHDN for re-submitting my BE2007?


2) I see.... hmmm, i'd a glance on the BE 2007 form & i found that it's too complicated for me to fill in so if i declare it online, they can't see my EA form.... How are they going to know if i fill the form correctly?

3) Gosh, no wonder our G is so rich even though a lot of ppl never declare their tax    Is it very crowded at the LHDN office? i'm just afraid no one there will entertain me & they don't have patience with my noobish question.....zzzz

I tried to get the E-Pin but they said its only available April

The rebate is for everything .. like the auto relief rm8k, and magazine and whatever rebate we submited. LHDN will calculate total and see we overpaid or underpaid ... and then we have to pay extra ? or maybe they pay us back ..

Do this process all happend on the spot we submit ?

ya. this year very detail. need to list down all the employees whose income > RM30K in 2008.

this will help IRB to trace whoever not declared the income tax.

Thanks for the info there.

Questions again.

1) Regarding the BE 2007, my employer did deduct on one month of my salary. That speaking, my salary does not reach RM2,500 but at a particular month, i am given an allowance claim which incidentally, made it over RM2,500. Does that mean i still need to declare my BE2007? If i have not declare yet, what shall i do at this point? Will i be fined?

2) Thanks for the tip on the e-filling. Will definitely look into that. Anyway, does LHDN office opens on weekends and until what time? Is there any office nearby KL area?

3) And i would like to know, how much will i be charged for income tax for a specific amount of salary obtained? Is there any chart stating how much will be charged for a certain amount of salary?

Thanks..

J'Daniel, have you received your Form BE2008? The pin is in there too. If you're using e-filing for BE2007 last year, you don't have to request for pin anymore...

Just notice in e-filing have a deduction for SSPN up to 3,000.
So if have wife and 1 child, can deduct up to 3 + 1 + 3 = 7,000 every year
provided you deposit 3,000 every year into SSPN.
