IPAD is tax claimable

Did you know that Ipad  is claimable under the RM3000 computer tax rebate?? 

However Iphone is NOT claimable.

The rationale is that Ipad is claimable because it is a computer/tablet that does not have any traditional phone call function. (that needs coverage station). Luckily Skype or other VOIP is not considered as a "phone call function".

Another thing is that Data Service Plan for smart phones is also subject to tax reduction relief up to RM500 under the broadband subscription relief!! besides the usual Streamyx.
