Q: Last year, I purchased a breast pump set and claimed the breastfeeding equipment tax relief. This year, I purchased a breast milk storage set. Can I claim this tax relief again for this year?
A: No. Although you purchased different equipment in the two years, both items are considered breastfeeding equipment. The tax relief for breastfeeding equipment is limited to RM1,000 and can only be claimed once every two (2) years of assessment. Therefore, if you have already claimed this tax relief in the previous year of assessment, you cannot claim it again in the current year of assessment, even if you purchased other qualifying breastfeeding equipment.
Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
