Q: If my father's operation fee is RM20,000 and I have claimed RM8,000 under the parent’s medical expenses tax relief, can my brother also claim RM8,000 under his parent’s medical expenses tax relief?
A: Yes, both you and your brother can each claim the RM8,000 parent’s medical expenses tax relief, provided it can be proven that your brother has paid part of the bill. For example, your brother has transferred at least RM8,000 back to you.
Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
