| RPGT - Real Property Gains Tax (5% RPGT effective Jan 1, 2010.)
RPGT on Budget 2010
The Malaysia Government has proposed to reimpose 5% real property gains tax (RPGT) for gains arising from property disposal with effective Jan 1 2010, irrespective of the year when the property is disposed. The RPGT for the first year is 5% and is the same for the second, third, fourth and fifth year. Meanwhile, the Government has provided exemption for following:-
1. Disposal of a residential property once in a lifetime.
2. Transfer as gifts between parent and child, husband and wife, grandparent and grandchild; (No exemption for transfer between sibling) and
3. Exemption of RM10,000 or 10% of the chargeable gain, whichever is greater, for each disposal of a property by an individual.
Example to illustrate calculation of Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) payable: Mr.X purchased a property on year 2000 at RM100,000.00 and sold after Jan 1 2010 at RM200,000.00. He made RM100,000.00 from the transaction and the gains are subject to 5% RPGT.
RPGT Calculation:
RM100,000 (Property Gains) - RM10,000 (Waived Exemption) = RM90,000 (Taxable Gains)
RM90,000 (Taxable Gains) x 5% (RPGT Rate) = RM4500 (RPGT Chargeable)
The RPGT will be restored on January 2010 before its suspension in April 2007 with the tax rate as mentioned above.
