Q: I am a sole proprietor. My receptionist will turn 60 years old in November 2026. How many months would I be eligible to claim the further tax deduction for my receptionist’s salary in year 2026?

A: You are eligible to claim a further tax deduction on the salary paid to the senior citizen from January 2026 onwards as long as he or she turns 60 years old in the year 2026, provided the individual is a Malaysian resident and citizen, is employed on a full-time basis, earns a monthly salary of not exceeding RM4,000, and is not your relative. Relative means a spouse, a parent, a child, a brother or sister, a grandparent, or a grandchild.

Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
