Stamp Duty

Stamp duty payable for the transfer of property in Malaysia is calculated as follows:

On the Considered or Adjudicated Value

First RM100,000  – 1.0%

Next RM400,000  – 2.0%

Balance  – 3.0%

So, if your property was purchased for RM1,250,000, the stamp duty payable for the transfer would be:

• First RM100,000  –  RM1,000
• Next RM400,000 –  RM8,000
• Remaining RM750,000 (i.e. RM1,250,000 – RM500,000) – RM22,500

Total = RM31,500
