Friend you are correct the Cukai Pintu or Assessment is very expensive as this Service Apartment is assessed based on Commercial Title. In the past this guy, Peri .. try to misrepresent this fact but fail miserably. You are smart as it is better to invest in Residential Unit.

Wow , if assessment is RM2,000 pa it will amount to about 2 months rental which has to be paid by the OWNERS. Hope the owners aware of this.

Thanks Newguy2016 for your information.

Finally the truth is out. All the time we have maintained that Service Apartnment like Silk Residence the Cukai Pintu (Assessment) will be based on Commercial Rate and not Residential Rate as Service Apartment Title is Commercial Title. Unfortunately Assessment (Cukai Pintu) based on Commercial is much higher as compared to Residential. Well the 2nd half of 2016 is coming all property owners will soon receive their billings for Assessment and no more guessing of the amount.

The true fact prevail.

Best Wishes.

Compare to a residential unit the cukai pintu of RM400 plus for Silk Residence (which is a commercial unit ) is expensive. Normally the cukai pintu for residential unit is only RM200 plus. Thus it is more expensive by 100%. Not surprising someone especially P. will furnish some illogical reason to justify it. Do the purchasers realise this before you buy.
