Q: My wife and I have 3 children. My wife pays the childcare centre fees for our 3-year-old and 4-year-old children, while I pay the kindergarten fees for our 6-year-old child. Can both of us claim tax reliefs for the fees paid to the childcare centre and kindergarten?
A: The tax relief of up to RM3,000 for the fees paid to a registered childcare centre and kindergarten for a child aged 6 years and below can only be claimed by either the husband or the wife who incurs the expenses regardless of how many children you have.
Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
