Q: My child is 3 years old this year. I purchased breastfeeding equipment when he was 1 year old and had claimed tax relief for the purchase that year. This year, I purchased another set of breastfeeding equipment. Can I claim tax relief for this year's purchase?
A: Although the tax relief of up to RM1,000 for the purchase of breastfeeding equipment can be claimed once every 2 years of assessment, it is only applicable for a child aged 2 years or below. Hence, you are not eligible to claim tax relief for this year’s purchase.
Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
