Q: I have given birth to a child in the year 2022, and another child in the year 2023. Hence, I have purchased breastfeeding equipment in both years. Can I claim tax relief for the purchase of breastfeeding equipment for each year?
A: The tax relief of up to RM1,000 for the purchase of breastfeeding equipment is only allowed to be claimed once in every 2 years of assessment. If you have claimed this tax relief in year of assessment 2022, you are not eligible to claim this tax relief anymore in year of assessment 2023.
Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
