Q: Can the purchase of an e-sports game character skin be claimed under the RM1,000 sports-related additional lifestyle tax relief?

A: No. The sports-related additional lifestyle relief only covers gym memberships, sports training fees from eligible providers, sports equipment, rental or entrance fees to sports facilities, and approved sports competition registration fees. 

Even e-sports is recognised as a sport under the Sports Development Act 1997, a game character skin is an in-app purchase and does not fall within any of these eligible expenses.

Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
