Not everyone of us received notice to attend a hearing. I just saw this now. Too late, I guess.

Those of u who have attended a hearing, can share how u guys bargain for a better rate?

All I can say is instead of wasting all the resources to send mails or returning mails, why can't dbkl b a bit smarter to just announce a reduction to a reasonable and acceptable increment??? Is dbkl gonna tell us later saying tat kakitangan tak cukup pasal rakyat but bising???

Tauke kltok can u pass the message to dbkl and stop acting stupid??? And stop all the kok toking show and do sthg cos rakyats r paying them. Do u agree???

It will be a reasonable increment for those who face an increase. Some will enjoy a decrease instead.

Hi masters, may i know what are the differences of quit rent & assessment rate between a commercial title unit and residential title unit? I noticed the shop apartment is using commercial title.

huh? What gives? Like strike lottery....

No doubt it's true. How I wish it's not a gimmick.

Residential units and commercial units (according to land title) pay different percentages as Assessment Rate/Cukai Pintu.

The new percentage is 4% for residential and 10% for commercial (within 36 mile radius) and 8% (outside 36 mile radius)

Assessment Rate/Cukai Pintu = Annual Value X Assessment Rate Percentage

Assessment Rate Percentage is determined by type and location of property.

There are those whose properties increase in annual value by around 30-50%.

The Assessment Rate Percentage has decreased from 30-50%.

For example, a medium cost apartment in Kepong (real world example):

Old Annual Value = RM9,000
Old Assessment Rate = 6%
Old Amount of Assessment Rate paid = RM9,000 X 6% = RM540

New Annual Value = RM12,000
New Assessment Rate = 4%
New Amount of Assessment Rate paid = RM12,000 X 4% = RM480

As you can see, in cases like this, the owner pays less than previous years.

+1

Thank you for taking time to explain to me! I must now go check if I benefit from this revised scheme!

Just checked! 50% overall increase!

What about u ManutdGiggs? Ada untung?

If you are an owner occupying your own property, you can ask for even further reduction under a special incentive scheme.

Retirees, OKUs/the disabled and owners who occupy their own property are eligible for these reductions.

You can get the form at a DBKL Payment Counter.

None is untung wan. Gimmick ma. Increase gao gao then revise the rate. Ended up stil towards the upside.

my kondo in shah alam town just 3.5% from nilai tahunan....

Gratz.

Mine Turun Woh surprisingly

And if you own the property where you are staying, you can apply for the special incentive reduction. Please get the form from a DBKL Payment Counter.

Then Turun lagi?
Yeah I love bn

I'm not OKU or retiree le... normal ppl not eligible for reductions? What about reasons like no tenant?

Can download form from dbkl site?

If you are an owner who are residing at your own property, you can also apply for the property where you are staying.

The form needs to be obtained and submitted at a DBKL Payment Counter.
