If you don’t have any income from 1 Jan 2017 to 31 Dec 2017, then yes, put in 0.

If you lost your job somewhere in 2017, just put in what income you made from the dates above.

Can. Just claim the amount at the lifestyle relief section - but only the total amount payable in 2017. Not the total amount of the device

Just Unifi. Your TV channels cannot be claimed.

Just out of curiosity, anyone else received their tax refund? My colleague received hers last Friday.

I submitted mine 6am 1st March. Have not received yet too. She submitted on 1st March afternoon - but her refund is significantly less than mine though

Here already know how bullshit you are...

Yes, but you need to minus the cost of doing business - fuel, car loan, maintenance fees etc.

If the amount is more than 0, use the B form. Tax rate is your income + part time profit.

Oops, sorry. I don’t think fuel, maintenance etc is tax deductible for Grab drivers. To be safe, contact Grab to find out which cost of doing business is tax deductible for drivers that are declaring income tax - fuel, road tax, insurance, maintenance, mobile data etc.

Ok just found this for you guys doing grab. Yea, it’s confirmed deductible not car loan though...

But as usual, receipts are needed - physical receipts or pictures of the said receipts.

Yes, you can only claim up to RM299 if you indeed overpaid your taxes - govt won’t pay you more since you only paid LHDN that amount however, if your company underpays your PCB, you might have to pay LHDN more money.

Internet subscription - amount must be excluding GST. Since you’re using since May 2017, then you can only claim from May-Dec (8x147). You can also claim handphone purchase, handphone internet bill, books etc under the lifestyle tax.

Edit: there is no place to upload the proof online. You have to keep the receipts. Take pictures of the receipts to be safe as thermal paper receipts nowadays don’t last longer than a year - they can audit you as far back as 7 years ago

It’s their nature of business. It’s similar to a company, they need to deduct cost of producing a product, then sell the product for profit.

Grab and Uber drivers drive their cars for business, so they should be able to deduct fuel, toll and maintenance from their revenue to get their profit.

How they derive what % of their fuel, I’m not sure how LHDN will calculate - I guess they will use a standard km/l used by the vehicles. If the drivers are stupid, they would agressively put in cost of fuel, and leave very little, or no profit left after driving. Sure kena audit kaw-kaw by LHDN and need to pay 100% penalty for cheating

I mean, why do Grab/Uber if very little/no profit right?

If you were retrenched, you were actually entitled for more tax breaks. Your previous HR should've given you the forms. Around RM10k extra tax relief per year of service.

No. That is if you are given full/partial tax exemption by the Minister. Basically if you don't know what it is, just put in "Tidak Berkenaan".

On another note, I submitted 1/3, they accepted 7/3, and in the e-lejar says 15/3 pulangan balik cukai. Maybank account still have not received the refund.

that 7xx balance is presumably your January + February PCB.

I paid triple that amount, but only received 1.5k refund

Got it at 4pm! MBB user here

No. The relief is given yearly and capped at RM2,500 combined.

Or LHDN is having problems with cashflow to pay the income tax return + BR1M at one go.

No. Change to your name soon
