my SPA is dated aug 2013, until now there is no news on the refund.

rclxub.gif rclxub.gif seriously? then you need to go LHDN (your file branch) personally. I sold 3 of my properties and all within 6 months...do not rely on lawyer, there only help you do filing. you need to follow up yourself

they usually do direct transfer to your bank acc.
by the time you received your letter, rightfully you should have received your fund already.

errr...you normally receive a notice 1st no? the calculation of rpgt? it give you few weeks to appeal if you disagree with the calculation...that is what happen to all my properties sold...never once i receive re-fund before letter le...your branch must be super efficient thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

wahhhhhh...but the lawyer deducted 2% from you already? is the lawyer firm still there? you better go see them and yes Beancounter is right there must be some proof that the lawyer deduct 2% from you....even if don't have, you just use whatever receipt you have to proof that you used their firm for your property transaction because they have to withhold the 2% no matter what then ask them what happen to the money

finally settled. but a few things i find a bit weird.

1. they wanted to charge me 5% of the refund amount as admin charges. but i argued back and he took one step back to say RM50 as transport charges.  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif i told him no way that i am going to pay a single cent. then he decided to waive it.

2. the refund is coming from the law firm and not LHDN. is this correct? he said the amount was just retained at their side.  rclxub.gif

WTF???????????....the law firm sounds like a conman firm...good thing you fight for your rights and no the refund should come from LHDN, it can only mean one thing...the law firm did not submit the tax portion to LHDN

i can't think of any reason why the refund comes from the law firm and not from LHDN...any other member in this forum can help?

1) less than 5 years... sold in end of 2013....joint name property

2) cant recall they asked me to sign on any rpgt waiver form, they just asked me to submit some documents to request for waiver. let me read my SPA again... both seller and buyer used the same lawyer becoz according to the agent, the process will be "faster" this way.... hmmm.....

that's the thing i'm not very sure about...once you signed the waiver for rpgt, can the firm still retain your 2%? and even if they do retain the money it still need to submit to income tax no matter what...

so meaning either they retain the money or they don't...if they do then they must submit to income tax...unless my understanding is wrong
