What is RPGT in Malaysia? (Real Property Gains Tax)

In Malaysia, Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) is a capital gains tax charged by the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) on profits made from selling real property (such as residential houses, land, or commercial buildings) or shares in a Real Property Company (RPC).

1. Tiered Rates by Holding Period

The RPGT rate decreases the longer you hold the property. Malaysian citizens pay 30% RPGT if disposed of within the first 3 years, 20% in the 4th year, 15% in the 5th year, and 0% in the 6th year onwards.

2. Individual Statutory Exemption

Individuals who are citizens or PRs are entitled to a statutory tax exemption of RM10,000 or 10% of the gross chargeable gain (whichever is higher) to reduce the net taxable gain.

3. Allowable Expense Deductions

You can legally minimize your chargeable gain by deducting allowable expenses, including purchase and sale legal fees, stamp duties, agent commissions, and major structural home improvements.
