Well reveur, I'm no expert, but basically how much you get taxed will depend on how much you earn minus whatever you can deduct or claim.

So if you earn RM 10k and above your bracket will be much higher than if you earn RM 3k and above - and then there are the various ways of reducing your taxable amount. My advice if you've not used Efiling is to just photocopy the BE form and practice filling it in. The method will become clear soon enough.

@rev - if u r single, u can
a)Deduct RM8k for personal usage
b)EPF/Life insurance maximum RM6k
c)Books - RM1k
d)Health/Education insurance - RM3k
e)Computer - RM3k (every 3years)

tats about it for us singles....
then ur annual income minus all above and the balance will be taxable....

YOURE BACK zomg.

Basically once you start earning more than RM 2500 you kena already. And yes, the taxable amount is AFTER you minused all the above.

@rev - everything calculated by annually..easier....erm i think after deduct everything u can find if u r left with about RM30k is deductable?...didnt really calculate....

2.5k per month minus epf + socso and all that? Phew...
So how much they deduct ur tax? Percentage that is.. 

there is a table actually....depends on ur taxable amount range...cos i am lookin at the form/table as we speak...
