Personally, kena fined by LHDN twice because I filed my tax wrongly.

Case 1 - I bought a house and claimed home loan interest to get the reliefs but it was the wrong year and I wasn't eligible. Got hit with audit and fined RM6,000.

Case 2 - I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid when I was younger. Then I saw 1 relief called "incurable disease". Thought to myself "technically hyperthyroid is incurable". I tried to Google search whether it was claimable but didn't find any helpful result. So I thought, "aiyah just claim la, spent so much for medical bills d". LHDN called me back in a few months asking for receipts and told me Hyperthyroid is not counted as incurable disease T.T, fined RM2,000.

The painful part is both mistakes were so easily avoidable if someone just told me earlier. So I spent the last few months building mytaxmate.my — basically scans your receipts, tells you which relief you can claim, and walks you through Form BE or B step by step.

Still early days into building my app now, which is exactly why I want to hear from real people before I build the wrong thing.

So please roast me lah — what's confusing, what's missing, would you actually use it or not. Share what kind of horror story you encountered with tax filing from your personal experience that I can build into the app.

Genuinely want to hear some honest feedbacks.
