Argggg!!! It’s the TAX month AGAIN!!!!
April 20th, 2009 | by jys |Ever since I started to pay tax, I HATE APRIL!! Some people said, you should be happy that you need to submit tax mar, because paying tax means higher salary.. hahahahaa..very funny..I think nobody will ever think their salary is HIGH lar, and nobody will ever think that money is enough!!!
Anyway, since I can’t change the fact that I need to pay tax, all I can do is to find ways to reduce tax. The first thing I can think of is donation, I digged out all the receipts i received from donation and found out only 2 of them are entitled for tax reduction. My two sponsored kids, Jirot (Indonesia) and Minh Quan (Vietnam) from World Vision doesn’t help in tax reduction. ~sigh…too bad.. (but don’t worry, although no tax deduction I will still sponsor one. hehe…)
What else I can use to reduce tax? Hmm, books and magazines! I calculated all the books & magazines receipts and realized I only bought about RM 500 books/magazines last year. Wasted lar, should have bought more!! (I will definitely buy more this year!!) What else what else?
Complete medical check up? Blood test consider medical check up or not? Well I think canot lar, since blood test is a sub set of medical check up, if they did not state there ‘complete’, then maybe I can use to deduct lar. And sports equipment? Hmmm, according to the radio (they hired some expert to explain about tax), even sports shoes can be claimed under the sports equipment there. If the income tax ppl questioned you, you can say you always jogged and you can’t jog without a pair of sport shoes! wuahahahaha… funny lar, this guy… Since sports shoes can use to deduct, then bicycle also can deduct gua… right? But wait a sec, did I keep the receipt? Arrggggg!!!!!
As you can see, I am still struggling to find more receipts for tax deduction lar.. What about you? Have you done yours?

I don’t know.. the expert says can.. hehe.. as for me, I think no harm putting it in lor, if the income tax ppl checked and said cannot, we just need to pay the extra, there won’t be any penalty also.. some more, i really do need sports shoes in order to jog mar, i can’t wear slipper to jog wat… :p
