Minimize Tax Payable | Tax Planning

Make use of tax deductions and exemptions: There are various deductions and exemptions available for individuals in Malaysia, such as for charitable donations, medical expenses, and education expenses. By taking advantage of these deductions and exemptions, individuals can reduce their taxable income and thus their tax payable.

Utilize tax credits: Tax credits are reductions in the amount of tax that an individual owes, based on certain criteria such as having children. By claiming these credits, individuals can further reduce their tax payable.

Consider tax-efficient investments: Some investments may be more tax-efficient than others, meaning they generate less taxable income or may be eligible for certain tax credits. By choosing these investments, individuals can potentially minimize their tax payable.

Plan retirement savings: Contributions to retirement savings accounts such as the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) and the Private Retirement Scheme (PRS) may be tax-deductible, helping individuals to reduce their tax payable.

Seek professional advice: Tax laws and regulations can be complex, and it is advisable for individuals to seek professional advice from a tax specialist or accountant to ensure that they are maximizing their tax savings and minimizing their tax payable.
