General Conditions for Foreign Buyers
Key points to understand before signing a Sale & Purchase Agreement.
Foreign purchasers generally require approval from the relevant State Authority.
Minimum purchase prices differ by state and may also differ by property type.
Foreign interests are generally restricted from low/medium-low-cost housing, Malay Reserve Land and properties allocated to Bumiputera interests.
Before purchase, appoint a conveyancing lawyer to check title, restrictions, State consent requirements and the Sale & Purchase Agreement.
Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT)
Tax may apply when a property is sold at a chargeable gain.
Current RPGT treatment depends on the disposal period and the disposer category. RPGT is calculated on the chargeable gain, not simply on the property's selling price.
For a Part III disposer, the acquirer generally retains and remits 7% of the consideration to LHDN, subject to the applicable RPGT rules. This retention is not necessarily the final tax payable.
