How much stamp duty is payable...? (Part 1)

The hidden costs for setting up a trust under a corporate trustee.


Below is the table of what LHDN will be imposing as stamp duty if you require to transfer your real estate properties to a corporate trustee to manage your trust.

Based on the graduated ad valorem stamp duty scale shown above, here are a few examples of what stamp duty you can expect to pay.


Example A: If you inject a property having a market value of RM1,000,000, then the stamp duty payable will be RM24,000

ie (RM100,000 x 1%) + (RM400,000 x 2%) + (RM500,000 x 3%).


Example B: Even with a smaller property with a market value of just RM500,000, the stamp duty payable is still a significant amount of RM9000

ie (RM100,000 x1%) + (RM400,000 x 2%).


Example C: If you have 2 properties, with one valued at RM800,000 and another RM1,500,000, the stamp duties payable will be a staggering RM62,000!

ie [(RM100,000 x 1%) + (RM400,000 x 2%) + (RM300,000 x 3%)] + [(RM100,000 x 1%) + (RM400,000 x 2%) + (RM500,000 x 3%) + (RM500,000 x 4%)]
