Maybank vs Public Bank Savings Account Interest Rate [ March 10th, 2010 ] | 146 views | Leave a Comment

Do you know how much interest will you get if you keep your money in your bank savings account nowadays? Someone has asked me which bank savings account work best, MayBank or Public Bank? I told him that basically, all savings accounts are the same. The main purpose is for us to save money only. Without consuming lot of time, I told him that he should open a savings account at a bank, which is convenient for him to do transaction or finding the one that is near to his home. This is because there is slight difference in interest rates.

Here are some of the savings account interest rates obtained from the banks’ latest updated information:

It can be fun and more exciting when you win the casino game. However, the IRS will take about 30% as part of the casino winnings taxes. I know this could be disappointing for all players, but the taxes can be taken back from the IRS in the form of casino tax refunds.

Based on my understanding, if the gambler want to claim the casino tax refunds then they can try to record how much have been won and lost each time they play on the casino game. In addition, those evidence such as tickets, receipts, or records can be present to the IRS (similar to Malaysia’s LHDN) in order to claim gambling tax refunds more easily.
