really a newbie here on taxation.

i'm just wondering, beginning of last year, i'm earning more than 30k per annum, however the company accountant does all the taxation on behalf of the employees, so i have no idea how much have i paid for tax. is this common? officially, last year is the first year i'm being taxed, so i've no idea if i'll receive any notifications on how much i have paid.

also, let's say i paid 3k for my tax last year, am i able to claim deductions if i buy books and computer from last year? or do i keep the receipts and claim at the end of this year?

thanks in advance, i've not come across any topics that can help on taxation, something that has been bugging me for quite some time.

Ok, thanks for the info, really helped me a lot.

Regarding the insurance,

I received a letter from my insurance company on my premium amount, as below:

1) Life = RM1,331.60
2) Medical = RM455.90
3) Disability = RM42.50
Total = RM1,830.00

So in this case do I put RM1,331 (1) in D12 and RM498 (2 & 3) in D13, or RM1,374 (1 & 3) in D12 and RM455 (2) in D13?

Do we need to attach the insurance company's letter together with BE form when submitting?

Thanks again...

7 years to be exact. but unlikely that LHDN will look for you when you are not a bigshot earning millions a year. because even though you claim RM1000 (max), the deduction does not make a very big difference in your payable tax.

um, is it okay we discuss this here?
