That will be very hard to prove. Get the seller to issue you a receipt and sign on it.

Thank for the reply KCLau.

So, I guess receipt would definately needed for the claim. But what if I’m buying a used computer from someone else, the likelyhood is I wouldn’t get receipt for this kind of purchase.

It’s written “Purchase of personal computer for individual of up to RM3,000 “. What if I build my own PC and purchase the PC components separately instead of buying a unit of PC?

Can I actually add up all the components (computer related items) bought and claim it as a unit of PC since PC consists of many components?

Yes. You just need the receipt.

If you have only one child, either the mother or the father can claim the RM3000 because they only allow one parent to open account for each child. So in order to have the tax saving for both parents, you will need to have at least two children.

Hi KC,

Are you sure that SSPN tax relief is RM3000 for each parent? I thought it’s RM3000 max which you can claim under either husband or wife?

I bought a Electonic Dictionary for my child in Year 2009 with price of RM1300. Can I claim this from tax relief under book purchase? Or, I can have the tax relief under personal computer?

Hi KC,
On SSPN tax relief, is it every year must deposit RM3000 only can entitle the max limit of tax relief? So if I deposit RM3000 on SSPN in the year 2008, and I do not deposit any amount in the year 2009, I am not eligable this tax relief in 2009?

I am not sure about the courses. You should ask a tax agent’s advice on this.
