Can I claim my parents' medical bills for tax in Malaysia?
Yes — and this is a completely separate relief from your own medical expenses, with its own limit.
This one is genuinely good news, because it does not compete with your own medical claims at all. It covers medical treatment, special-needs and carer expenses for your parents or grandparents, plus a full medical check-up for them — the check-up itself capped at a smaller amount within the total. Keep the receipts and any medical certification.

Work out what it is worth to you
Whether a claim helps depends on the rest of your year — what else you have already claimed against the same limit, and what tax you owe. The calculator works it out from your own figures, free and without an account.
