Happy new year! Here’s the cheat sheet that we’ve prepared for you to kick-start your financial planning for the year of 2024 by making the most of tax relief benefits.
The National Budget 2024, announced in October, saw a record allocation of RM393.8 billion, aimed at reforming the economy and raising the living standards of Malaysians. Contained within the budget were revisions and extensions of existing tax-related initiatives. These holistic initiatives not only provide financial assistance but also encourage positive lifestyle choices, including sustainability and personal development.
While it’s wonderful news, keeping track of every change, every receipt, every year just so you know what to claim and how much, can be overwhelming. It’s a lot of information to process, which is probably why we always wait until the very last minute to submit our e-filing. Of course, we’d rather be doing something else, but here’s the thing: being smart with your money is knowing exactly how to capitalise on all the different tax relief measures. If there’s a chance to get your expenses covered, take it!
