Q: I am a divorcee and have 2 children. My former wife pays childcare centre fees to a registered childcare centre for my 2-year-old child, while I pay for my 4-year-old child. Can both of us claim tax relief for the fees paid to the childcare centre?
A: Yes, both of you are eligible to claim tax relief of up to RM3,000 each on the fees paid to a registered childcare centre, as both of you have made payments for different children aged 6 years and below.
Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
