Understanding RPGT in Malaysia
What is RPGT?
Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT), also known as Cukai Keuntungan Harta Tanah (CKHT), is a tax on the profit from selling real property in Malaysia. The tax rate depends on how long you held the property and your residency status.
Exemptions
Each disposal qualifies for an exemption of RM10,000 or 10% of the chargeable gain, whichever is higher. Malaysian citizens who sell after the 6th year of ownership are fully exempt (0% RPGT). Additional exemptions include a once-in-a-lifetime private residence exemption and tax-free transfers between family members.
Allowable Expenses
You can deduct certain expenses from your gains, including renovation costs, legal fees on both purchase and sale, real estate agent commissions, and stamp duty paid on the original purchase.
