Tipu. Impossible 10 years...

7 years bro.

I know for a fact that LHDN is using an analytics system. They don't audit people randomly - normally if you kena query, that means that you have claimed or declared something out of the norm when compared to your peers.

But if you can show your receipts and proof of income (EA/EC form) which tallies with what you declared, they'll let you go completely.

In my 12 years of submitting income tax statements, I have never been asked to show proof (touch wood).

Cost of the computer you bought in the year of assessment, up to RM3,000, claimable once every 3 years. Year of Assessment 2016 is the last year with dedicated computer tax relief - YA 2017 onwards is called lifestyle tax relief, up to RM2,500 per year which includes magazines, computer, mobile phone, internet etc.

My colleague RM40K kena query almost every year since 2014 once caught lying when declare her income and claims.

Somewhat true as per the above (colleague's) experience.

Depends on how you choose your assessment. If individual, then both gets the RM2,500 relief. If combined assessment? Then the relief is just RM2,500 for both.
