Under the self-assessment system for individual/personal tax, you do not need to submit the relevant receipts or invoices to the tax authorities (LHDN or IRB) at time of submitting your income tax return. However, you are required to keep those documents in case you are requested by IRB in any tax audit or when you need tax clearance or require any possible tax refund from IRB.
How long you need to keep those receipts or invoices for tax purposes? Tax rules require you to keep for 7 years.

If your partner do not want to claim for whatsoever reasons, then you can claim the full loan interest under your personal tax computation. Your claim will not have any effect over his/her tax status.

I am a Malaysian. An American company based in Singapore wants to hire me to be based in Malaysia (home based). The CFO told me that I have to self-declare my yearly income tax to the LHDN. Unlike working for a local company, there will be monthly tax deduction from the salary. Moreover, I do not think I will be receiving EA Form at the end of year if I am to work with this American Singapore based company. Hence, would appreciate it if you could advise me on how do I go about declaring my yearly income tax?
Hi Angelina,
I am going to apply for a car loan under my name and the company will fully subsidies the car loan for 5 years. The amount of the car loan is approximately RM1,100 per month.
Is the amount subject to PCB calculation? If it does, I would like to request the company to add the car allowance as part of income & to pay PCB.
TQ
Yes, Louise, the amount contributed by your company every month shall be considered as part of your monthly income. The amount shall be calculated for PCB consideration.
PCB deduction is good for both company & staff:
First, failure to deduct PCB for staff by the company will result in the company being penalised by LHDN.
Second, monthly deduction via PCB is less impact than by end of the year you have to fork out a big lum sum for tax payment.

Hi Kim, all education insurance are definitely consist of investment component, as long the policy is stated as education insurance, then it will have no problem.

Hi
1) Can I claim tax relief for medical insurance premium paid for my wife even though my wife has her own income. She don’t need to claim the tax relief for her own as her income is still below taxable amount. My own medical insurance annual premium is still below RM 3000, so I want to add up my wife portion to maximize the tax relief.
2) Need clarification on Tax relief for spouse (limited RM 3000). Is this for joint assessment only or as long as you are married , you can claim it? If I assess individually, can I claim RM 3000 tax relief even though my wife has her own income?
3)I paid with my own money for my master degree in 2012 for two semesters. But as we are allowed to withdraw our EPF from account 2 for education purpose, I get reimbursed the amount that I paid for my master from EPF. Can I claim the amount as tax relief as the EPF is also my money?

If a tax payer has 2 step children ( children from his wife’s previous marriage) who are single and above 18 and are pursuing degree programs in local university, can the tax payer claim child relief though they are step children? The tax payer wife is not working.
I have a friend who didn’t submit income tax for 15 years. If she want to submit, how to go about it? Does she need to re-submit few years back?
Hi Patricia, please advise her to submit if she is required to do so. LHDN may review her case if she has been in good level of living.
