收到一封电邮,看了是很火,但想想不懂会不会是人家乱乱算,“骗?我们这些没读什么书也不会多少所得税的事。这里有没有会的朋友看一下,是不是真的?
Even if approved the donation is restricted to 7% of your aggregate income.
(This has been revised to 10% from YA 2009 for company.)
Whereas zakat qualifies for 100% and is deducted from the tax liability.
Example.
Ah Chong donate to temple : RM10,000.
His Annual income : RM100,000.
Tax Relief
: RM 23,000 (For Individual) +
RM 7,000 (For Donation)
Chargeable income : RM70,000
Tax payable : RM7,125
Ahmad - same income and relief
Chargeable income : (RM100,000 – RM23,000) = RM77,000
Tax payable : (Rm7125 + 1680) = RM8,805
Less zakat : RM 10,000
Tax refundable : RM (1,195)
Ah Chong has the same annual income & donated the same amount, but he still needs to pay tax of RM7,125
Yet, Ahmad is entitled to a tax refund of RM1,195.
He is also deemed a dutiful tax payer and honours his religious obligations. |
