Argh,

I just realized that having big bonus also bumps up your payable tax by a huge amount. My monthly deductions in 08 were like $140 a month only, but after taking my bonus into account & all the deductions, seems like I'm going to have to pay an extra 3.5k to IRB ... =_=;;

/sigh

Of course I could have miscalculated (hopefully), I just did some quick 2-min calculation only. But yea my bonus was about half of my entire year's salary.

Anyway while going through my last year's submission, I suddenly realized that my deduction for life insurance and EPF contributions was left blank! omg! That means I paid too much tax, zzzz. Any idea if I can still go back to income tax office to amend last year's submission?

ARGH

I switched jobs in Oct 2010, and the new company didn't deduct my PCB for the 3 months (they started deducting Jan 2011 onwards). Dapat gaji that time didn't notice, now only notice. So end up I need to pay LHDN like almost 2k for this year's filing

Also I pay broadband but the bill/acct in my dad's name ... so he gets the rebate (aha).

Also I bought a computer last year to relief, but after looking back at my previous year's submissions sh*t i miscalculate, actually I only eligible to claim in 2011 cos I last claimed in 2008 ...

Nah, what I meant is that if I had checked properly, I would have bought my comp in 2011 instead of 2010
