Budget 2009

Assalamualaikum kwn2......1st of all, I would like to thank Latip & Azahan for giving me chances to be part of pujanggamalam writer. Saye sbnrnyer bukanla pandai sgt menulis....karangan mase kat sek dulu slalu hancus.....tp rase teruja gak utk menulis sbb nk ikut maya karin menulis kat surat khabar ari ahad......x dpt tulis kat surat khabar dpt tulis kat blog ni pun jd la...:-)

Pe yg akan saye tulis?...mmm....selain dr pengalaman seharian/ mase lampau yg ingin dikongsi bersame, saye ingin juge berkongsi some of the tax knowledge which may be benefial for u guys....di samping itu, saye juge ingin berkongsi ngan kwn2 sume some of the interesting artikel which I had read in my favourite magazine, KOSMOPOLITAN!!!!hehehe....

So untuk post yg pertame ini, saye ingin berkongsi same some summarized info. dr Budget 2009 which had been recently announced by our Prime Minister, Pak Lah.

• Tax rebate to be increased from RM350 to RM400 for those with taxable income of RM35,000 and below. so mulai dr thn 2009, apabila kwn2 mengira cukai masing2...jgn lupe utk buat penolakan sebyk RM400 bkn lg RM350.....


• All interest income for individuals to be tax exempt....rasenyer yg ni cam lom applicable pd org2 yg br 3-4 keje cam kite ni....


• Travel allowance for commuting to work provided by employers to employees will be given tax exemption up to RM2,400 per year.


• Tax exemption on mobile phones, telephone and internet bills paid by employer....kpd yg bekerja di sykt telekomunikasi dan menerima such benefit maybe kene tak note on this.....


• Tax exemption on staff discounts on services rendered by the company....yg ni pun x ramai ade kene mengena


• Childcare allowance of up to RM2,400 per year...utk yg dh berkahwin & ada anak, kalau co. anda ada bagi elaun ini, kenalah take note ye...


• Tax exemption on medical benefits to cover maternity, traditional medicine namely acupuncture and ayurvedic...so mulai 2009, anda bkn saje leh claim MC dr doctor, dr sengsei utk akupuntur pun boley...


• 50% stamp duty exemption to be extended to loan agreements for the purchase of medium cost houses of up to RM250,000...yg ni mgkn bergune nnt....

Apa yang saye kemukakan di atas merupakan sebahagian drpd maklumat yg mgkn berguna kepada kite semua yang bekerja makan gaji. Jadi sekiranya syarikat yang anda bekerja sekarang ada menyediakan dan memberikan bermacam-macam benefit kepada staff (uwa...), diharap kawan2 bolehla take note...supaya dptlah kita mengurangkan cukai yang dikenakan dan menarik nafas yang panjang dengan kehadiran badai taufan economic recession yg semakin hampir ini.....

Sekian dulu untuk kali ini....saya akhiri text saye dgn my favourite Quote of the day......

"Love me today because tomorrow may be too late."
