“Renovation & Refurbishment is one of the most exciting tax deduction available in 2020/2021. We are looking at RM 300,000. That’s a big sum to claim . There are many many speculations on how liberal it would be?
No more guessing required. the gazette order has been published [PU(A) 381/2020] just before the new year. There is some bad news to this:
- Auditor need to certify;
- List of expenditure not allowed for deduction (eg. Design Fee ) – The list of item in Second Schedule of the gazette Order
- List of expenditure can be included for deduction (eg. surau, children play area, recreational area for staff) – listed in First Schedule of the gazette order.

The gazette order is now available with all the details required. During last Budget 2021 seminar, Dr Choong reminded participants the best practice is to create a new account code specifically for this special tax deduction : ease claiming and identification. Also do remember his advice on the timing component. Happy tax deducting (the more the merrier) !
If you are new to this, you will find the course on Budget 2021 online learning very helpful for your tax planning.
