Last week for income tax benefits


PETALING JAYA: With a week left before year-end, Malaysians still have time to make use of various income tax reliefs so that next year, when it is time for the 2021 individual tax filing, taxpayers will have maximised the benefits and reduced their tax bill, say tax experts.

Tax agent Christine Koh said the reliefs that Malaysians should grab include the RM2,500 lifestyle relief for purchase of books, magazines, newspapers (including e-copy), computers, smartphones, tablets, sports equipment, gym membership and Internet subscription.
