nice sharing all

Sorry, need assistance with the following questions.

A) if the property is freehold. Mean either quit rent ot assessment is not payable?
B) i have a property in Bangi. Have not received any quit rent n assessment as the unit is vacant..where to check what is my overdue.
C) Can Myeg able to check?

Yeah plus the 7% is based on projected value is it ? Or actual rental contract value ?

Yeah, the tariff the use for rent is much higher than actual possible rent rate.

I started this threadto ask about conversion of syarat kegunaan of a house from residential to commercial. Unfortunately nobody replied. Wonder if sifu here can help.

Copied and paste here>>>

We understand that owners have converted the "legal" status of their houses from residential to commercial. In WP KL, was told that the application should be submitted to DBKL. If approved, the annual assessment / cukai pintu will be increased. Thereafter, can rent out the property to commercial tenants to do business without fear

That's all I know. Now comes some questions ......

1. Can anyone go to DBKL & fill in some forms to DIY the process?

2. Is the conversion permanent or temporary? If temporary, can it be extended? If not extended, will the assessment go back to residential rate automatically?

3. Can the title deed be changed to reflect this new status? Should it?

Hope the sifus here can share some info on this. TQ

Hello everyone, needs assistance with tax assessment of terrace house in Seremban.

I was informed about the tax increment from a letter by Majlis Perbandaran Seremban(MPS).

I heard from MPS that the cukai pintu is no longer calculated based on land area, effective January 2020, it would be based on the indoor area occupied. The greater the indoor area, the greater the tax amount. My land tax was increased for the reason of extension of floor space at the front.

While I do admit I extended the front part of my house towards porch space, at the back what I did was merely fence up with solid walls for security reasons, and yet I was deemed as extension. So, not only my front part of my house, but also my house's back contribute to tax increment. I find the backyard part unreasonable, I feel like I'm being coerced and short-changed as my indoor area does NOT increase in size thru the back of my house and for the same reason, why the tax hike due to the back of my house too, instead of only the front part?

The amendment to the relevant Act was made back in 2016, according to them. Prior to this, I had no idea that such a thing was taxable. Frankly, I find this absurd and ridiculous and am annoyed by it, for why is the land tax not calculated based on raw land space occupied by indoor area instead? The letter do states that one may voice dissatisfaction, what should I do now?

I know some might see me as whining like a little kid, but I just couldn't come to agree with such a twisted logic. Some light online research I found that other states have started practicing such a thing few years ago.

Mbpp, tipu kuat..
Start next year, 01-01-2020
Cukai taksiran, naik 30 - 90 percent
Macam mana lah, hidup orang miskin
penang CAT government, kuat tipu..
tolonglah kami, menteri perumahan, Che puan zuraida..

anyone write surat bantahan to MPPP for cukai taksiran?
What reason you put at there?

Hi guys, what to do if overpaid cukai taksiran? Can i request for refund from MBPJ?

Does each city charge different cukai pintu? Planning to buy a condo but was told cukai pintu for serviced apt and residential is diff, with former more expensive. Pls advise. TQ

Because DBKL nilai tahunan is rubbish and totally unfair. Landed house typically have lower rent because got no security or facilities compared to condo which are already paying maintenance fee. Therefore rental of a 700k condo is definitely much higher than a 700k landed house. But is the condo owner really getting the full rent? They need to pay a hefty monthly maintenance fee. On top of that DBKL is using survey on ads and tenancy agreement to get their value which is rubbish because majority of condos are partly/ fully furnish to get higher rental. So means DBKL is taxing your furniture, renovation and even your maintenance fee also.

A fair nilai tahunan should be based on rental value of only unfurnished units minus the condo maintenance fee and not just the average rental of the particular area.

I was told that in one building, DBKL imposes 10% Assessment rate to owners who rented out their units to Airbnb operators as it's considered as commercial, and imposes 4% on owners who lives in the building themselves as it's considered as residential. How about if the owners rented out their units for long term tenants? Will it be charged 10% or 4%?

A few questions. In a Selangor condo, we pay majlis perbandaran cukai taksiran, is there such thing as cukai petak from some pejabat tanah of the state? Do they not deliver a letter to your address?

Remember pay cukai tanah soon🤣
I just remember i haven't pay and due at 31st May soon

Hope tis could help...soryy for rojak english...
Residential to commercial normally arkitek or perancang bandar can check whether that area can do conversions or not...some area cannot convert...if can must submit Kebenaran Merancang to DBKL...after tat appoint Land Surveyor to submit to PTGKL Tukar Syarat Nyata Tanah...if lulus must pay premium...Answer for no2 as i know there are no temporary conversion...after pay premium PTGKL will give new title with new syarat nyata tanah commercial...standby time n money...hehehe..:

Cukai pintu already many times go to their office to change the billing to my house address. Still sent it to my another house which I rented out. The house is very far in another state.

Thank you for the explanation...

any idea the any defer on the due date payment for cukai tanah or not ?
