What ux / product designers can claim in Malaysia

Malaysian employees face a strict test — section 33(1) of the Income Tax Act 1967 allows only expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in performing your duties, and expenses of a private or domestic nature are expressly excluded, which is why home office running costs do not qualify. Business and self-employed income can claim the genuine business-use portion of actual costs. LHDN prescribes no flat home-office or per-kilometre rate.

You can only claim the work-related portion, you must have spent the money yourself without reimbursement, and you need a record to prove it.
