Since the income tax relief for purchase of computer is RM3,000 (available once every three years), a tax payer can potentially save up to RM676 (RM2,599 x 26%) when he/she replace or buy additional computer now.
Dell Latitude D600 14.1-Inch Laptop - 512MB RAM, 30GB Hard Drive
If you have claimed tax relief on purchase of computer in year 2008... please wait for 2 more months (January 2011) before you tempted to buy it now. Further, price might also drop a little bit by then.
Hi
ReplyDeleteI'm quite new to this but would like to take advantage.
If I were to buy a laptop in 2011 that costs RM3000, when I file my tax return in 2012 the amount that I can offset against my taxable income would be (RM3000 x my tax rate?.
Thanks!!!!
Assume you don't have business income, you need to file Form BE by 30.4.2012.
ReplyDeleteIf your income is high, you can save UP TO 26%xRM3,000
If your income is not so high, you may save nothing, i.e. 0% x RM3,000
So, the new tax relief actually only benefit high income individual. Sad.
