Income Tax tax-saving tips and Broadband & Travel claims

A reminder that there are only five days left to submit your income tax returns.

You can either file in your forms using the Inland Revenue Board's (IRB) e-filing system or submit them manually. E-filing service counters in all states will remain open from 8am to 6pm this Friday and Saturday.

Tax payments can be made through IRB's online payment service or its appointed banks.

Be aware that failure to submit Income Tax forms is an offence under the Income Tax Act 1967, and defaulters could be fined between RM200 and RM2,000 or jailed up to six months or both.

For further details, visit www.hasil.gov.my or call 1300-88-3010.

If you haven't filed your returns, here are some tax-saving tips, though drawn up in 2008, I believe they are still applicable. Do check them out, they may be able to save you some money.

Also, here is a Q&A from The Star on Broadband and travel claims answers of which are provided by the Inland Revenue Board's Communications Unit for your reference which might help clear some doubts you might be having.

Online tax return is convenient. I file returns online since 1999. But in australia, I don't understand why companies still have to use paper returns.

Ai Shiang, online tax return is catching on here in Malaysia and is encouraged though there are people who are still comfortable with paper returns.

Great tip. This could be quite useful to me because I do do my own tax advice since it is still simple and once in awhile I would run across a little problem but let’s hope that they will be able to help me next time
