Can I claim tax relief for the cost of aligning my teeth by using aligners?

You are only eligible to claim a tax relief for dental treatment of up to RM1,000 if your oral health condition requires treatment and the aligners are prescribed by a medical practitioner registered with the Malaysian Dental Council to treat oral health complications, such as misalignment of teeth.

Can I claim tax relief for the cost of whitening the teeth of my parents?

The eligibility to claim tax relief for parents’ dental treatment depends on the type of treatment and whether it is needed for oral health reasons. The cost of teeth whitening is usually not required for health reasons and is mainly done for cosmetic purposes. Hence, the cost of teeth whitening will not be eligible for tax relief.

Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
