After you read this, go buy a newspaper

Take note: If you are reading this article in a real-life, made from paper newspaper, you could claim it as a deduction from next year’s tax declaration. As long as you have a receipt.

Among the incentives announced in this year’s budget was that the lifestyle tax relief now includes printed newspapers. Yes, if you have claimed for computers, smartphones, Internet subscriptions, sports equipment purchases, gym memberships and your books, and you still haven’t reached the RM2,500 limit, you can now include printed newspapers in that.
