SPA stamp duty (Memorandum of Transfer)
Stamp duty on the Sale & Purchase Agreement is calculated using a tiered structure set by Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN):
- — First RM 100,000: 1%
- — RM 100,001 to RM 500,000: 2%
- — RM 500,001 to RM 1,000,000: 3%
- — RM 1,000,001 and above: 4%
Loan stamp duty
A flat 0.5% on the total loan amount — payable when you stamp the loan agreement.
Legal fees (estimate)
Two separate legal fees apply: one for the SPA and one for the loan agreement. Both follow the Solicitors’ Remuneration Order tiered scale (1% on first RM 500k, 0.8% on next RM 500k, etc.). The figure shown combines both estimates — your actual fees can vary slightly by law firm.
Possible exemptions
First-time Malaysian home buyers can qualify for full or partial stamp duty exemption depending on the price band — check the latest budget announcement or with your law firm. Some developers also absorb stamp duty as a sales incentive (Versa, for example, includes free SPA legal and loan disbursement fees).
Estimates only. Final figures are confirmed by your appointed law firm and LHDN at the time of stamping.
