I think I prefer to know both, for let's say RM350,000, sir, as I would like to have an overview about how taxes weigh for Malaysia properties...there's no taxes weigh, but for RM350k, you need to pay stamp duty of RM6k.

for your information as at 1/1/2010 the minimum purchase price for foreigner to purchase the property in Malaysia is RM500K and the foreigner no longer needs to get approval from Foreign Investment Committee (FIC) but they only need to submit a consent form to the relevant land office after they have signed the Sale and Purchase agreement. The foreigner needs to pay the stamp duty to the government Based on the purchase price ie in the case of the property with a purchase price of RM500k the stamp duty will be RM9k. Hope this info is helpful
