Fee Structures & Calculation Logic

  • Stamp Duty (Tenancy Agreement): Calculated based on the Stamp Act 1949 (LHDN). The duty applies to annual rental in excess of RM2,400. The standard rates used are: RM1 per RM250 (Tenancy < 1 year), RM2 per RM250 (1–3 years), and RM4 per RM250 (> 3 years). The calculation includes a standard RM10 stamping fee.

  • Legal Fees (SRO Scale): Estimated using the Solicitors’ Remuneration Order (SRO) 2023, Second Schedule. The standard scale for tenancy agreements is typically 30% on the first RM10,000 of monthly rental and 15% on the next RM90,000. (Note: You may select “% Rate” or “Fixed” in the calculator if you have a private arrangement).

  • PDC Consent Fee: Applicable only to leasehold properties on Penang Development Corporation (PDC) land. The fee is calculated on the Total Contract Value (Monthly Rent × 12 months × Years).

    • Operating Owners: Charged at 5%.

    • Non-Operating Owners: Charged at 10%.

  • PDC Admin (Approval) Fee: A processing fee applicable primarily to Non-Operating Owners on PDC land. This is estimated at RM10 psf (Mainland) or RM20 psf (Island) based on the land area input.

  • Agency Fees: Based on the Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers (BOVAEA) 7th Schedule

  • SST: A Service Tax of 8% is automatically calculated on Professional Services (Legal Fees and Agency Fees) effective March 1, 2024.
