Is the currently all those personal relief under the Income Tax Act 1967 keeping with current cost of living? Is it fair, reasonable and equitable in this bad economy time?

Not all allowances are tax exempted.

If you received HP benefits or company is paying you the bill, you need to declare back as benefit in kind (BIK) which will add into your gross taxable income as well.

The introduction of BIK years back is to close the loop hole as you mentioned.

I don't think meal, house allowances is tax exempted as well.
Correct me if I am wrong.

meals as entertainment can be exempted, in full or half I am not sure ....

there are rules .... and there are something else called 'work around' biggrin.gif
