    If a property is jointly purchased by more than one person, all of them are entitled for the relief restricted to maximum of RM10,000 per year.
    Is it only one of both can relief RM10,000 per year ? Or both also can relief RM10,000 per person ?

  4. Jointly up to RM10,000 per year.

    If one claim RM9,000, then the other one will be only RM1,000.

    If one claim RM5,000, then the other one will be RM5,000.

    If one opts not to claim, then the other one can claim max RM10,000.

    is that smart phone can consider as purchase of computer? got any term and condition?

    Thx a lot

    • Hi HC, smart phone is not considered as Computer. Computer is referred to Notebook, Desktop Personal Computer (PC) & Netbook.

      IPad is having same functions as computer, so it is considered computer. So, claim your ipad purchase as computer.

  8. does the petrol/car allowance still exempted for 2011 assessment? As i know for 2008-2010 its exempted for RM2400 for traveling between home and work while RM6000 for traveling in between office hour.

  10. 1) If I paid for master degree in 2011 but claim back from EPF, can it considered as education tax relief?
    2) If my child born in Jan 2012, can get child tax relief for 2011 or not?

    • dz, I am not sure on your statement for “claim back from EPF”. But if the fee is not subsidised by EPF, then you can claim under education relief.

      You can’t claim child relief for 2011, but only from 2012 onwards.

  11. If my husband EA form has a travelling allowance of RM5,160.00 and car allowance of RM 3,600.00, are they exempted for 2011 assessment?

  13. Hi,
    if i bought a property on Jun 2010 but still in construction and estimate to complete in Jan 2013, am i entitle to deduct 10k under Income Tax Relief on Interest of Housing Loan (YA2010 only)

    If yes, and this property is jointly purchased by more than one person. If one person claim 10k and the other one is not agreed. Then who to decide which party can claim how much from the 10k relief. Is this 10k relief need to decided and agreed by the both owner?

    • Yes, Soh, you are entitled. But you can only claim for what is the actual loan interest paid for year 2010, up to the maximum RM10k. If your actual interest paid was only RM2,580, then you can only claim interest relief of RM2,580, not RM10k.

      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.

  14. HI, I’m paying RM500 every month in public mutual fund. But is mutual fund considered as deferred anuity?

    If can…in 2010 I did not claim the education fees tax relief, would it be difficult to re- open back 2010 tax assessment?

  17. Hi

    I bought 2 properties in May 2010 and August 2010. So, I think both of them entitle me for tax relief for interest. One is under my name and the other under joint loan with my wife. I have not serve any interest yet until Vacant posession which estimate to be May 2012.

    Question
    1) Can I claim the tax relief this year?

    3) Can I claim under one property name and my wife use the other one?

  19. @dz

    REIT dividend received by individual need not to be included in tax return. The withholding tax 10% is deemed to be final tax. It is not further subject to individual scale tax rates.

  21. Subscription fees for broadband registered in the name of the individual (from 2010 to 2012).

    I has signed up for TM streamyx under my name which i’m not working, can my husband claim for the relief.

  22. Hi. I trying to claim for serious diseases. What is the classification for serious diseases? I mean how to define this. Is High Blood Pressure a serious disease?

  23. How about tax from unit trust distribution income?Do we need to declare? Actually the income from the distribution after tax will be reinvest for new unit.

    • Hi dz, dividend from unit trusts will be either tax exempted or tax deducted.

      If tax exempted, then no tax & no need to declare.

      If it is tax deducted, then there will be no tax issue since the tax is already deducted, thus it is up to you to declare or not. (technically, you should)

  24. Can we claim back the witholding 10% tax for REIT？ If yes, how?
    Thank you in advance.

  25. My husband and I bought a property in 2010, and he had start claiming the housing loan interest since 2010. This property has both of our names, and the loan is under my husband name only. Can I claim the tax exemption for 2011 if my husband didn’t claim it?

  26. Hi, How i get to know the status of my refund only i have done e-file . how long it take to get the refund. Thanks

    • Allex, all you need to do is wait.

      We have been told many times in earlier years that refund will be made within 3-6 months if there is any over-payment by the tax payees. But many of our clients have to wait more than that & sometimes more than a year.

  27. I paid insurance premium under my wife name’s where she doesn’t have source of income and my son’s insurance premium which i am the assured and my son is exceed 21 years old.
    1) Can I claim relief for both premium paid?
    2) Can I claim for tax rebate for my wife?

  28. tk, first, what type of insurance that you paid for your wife & son?

    If medical for both or education for children, then it can be claimed under medical/education insurance (max 3k)

    If life for both, then only your wife’s portion can be claimed under insurance/epf (max 6k).

Unlike working for a local company, there will be monthly tax deduction from the salary.

Hence, would appreciate it if you could advise me on how do I go about declaring my yearly income tax?

  50. 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.

  51. Is the premium paid for investment-linked education insurance eligible for tax relief up to RM3000?

    • Yes, Kim, as long as it is classified as education insurance (you can refer from the name of insurance in the policy), it can be deductible as Medical Insurance up to max RM3,000.

  52. Hi Angelina, Thanks for your reply. I’ve heard that the investment component of the education insurance is not claimable. Perhaps that has been changed.

  59. 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?
    Thanks
