Is the iPad a tax deductible item in Malaysia?
And the bad: From assessment year 2013, the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) has declared that tablet devices, which include Apple’s iPads, Samsung Tab and Google’s Nexus 9, are not included in the list of tax deductible items.

Is it acceptable to measure Internet usage at work?
As usual, a four week period of measurement is an acceptable way to demonstrate how you worked out your yearly work use percentage.
How much time do you spend on the Internet?
Generally you would try and do it by time spent per day and assume a 16 hour day. Normally someone who uses it for a few hours a day I would record 10-15%. But I strongly agree that there is absolutely no definiative answer that makes sense and a clear outline needs to be updated by the ATO.
