For property bought within 1 year, RPGT is 30% on profit.   

Question : if there is no profit made (e.g. S&P price minus all expenses is lower than selling price); is it valid for RPGT=0%??    Agent told me cannot ... must have a minimal profit (if so, what is that min amount) ... otherwise will get into legal problem.  

Seeking advise from experts ... if that agent pulling a quick one on me??   If property bought at wrong time, then forever cannot sell.

If u claim to have bought a Property and then sold in in less than 1-year (or even within say 5-years) and made no profits, the IRB will look at your case very carefully, in particular:

1) Original Buying and current Selling Price - make sure its genuine and mind you, IRB can arbitrarily set a new selling price based on their own Market Value if they feel that your current selling price is below 'Market Value'

2) Expenses - make sure its only the permitted expenses claimed with proper receipts

3) Identity of the Original Seller and Current Buyer - make sure its not related to you, else, IRB will see it as some sort of scheme to artificially deflate / inflate the selling price

Its possible, actually to sell a property at such a short tenure and make no profit. RPGT is only on profits and who says, u must make profits from property. There are many ppl who make losses due to bad investments. But make sure your deal is above board.
