Am I entitled to claim child relief for my 18-year-old child who is undergoing chambering with a law firm?

Yes, you are entitled to claim a child relief of RM8,000 if your child is unmarried and is undergoing training under articles or indentures with the aim of qualifying in a trade or profession in Malaysia.

I have an 18-year-old son who is serving under an article with an accounting firm in Malaysia. He is undergoing practical training while studying for professional accounting qualifications, and he receives payments of RM12,000. May I know whether I am eligible to claim child relief for my son?

Yes, you are entitled to claim a child relief of RM8,000, as your child is serving under an article and the payments received from his employer under the article are not treated as income of the child.

Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
