Q: If Tony's mother receives RM 30,000 pension every year, can he claim the parent care relief for his mother?
A: Pension is also a form of income, so if the pension received by Tony’s mother is more than RM 24,000 per year, one of the parent care relief criteria is not fulfilled, thus Tony cannot claim the parent care relief.
Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
