QUOTE(Adrian1981 @ Dec 17 2016, 02:04 PM) Hi all , I'm selling my first property through agent. Can anyone advise what I need to pay? I bought it 200k, now selling it for 350k. Agent will charge me 2%. This is what the costs I know I need to pay : Agent fees: 2% of 350k = 7000 Loan lock in period = 3 years, so no penalty. Did I miss anything else ? need to know exactly what type of property you bought......there are other cost too but not as much as agents fee and legal fee. even you pegging back buyers lawyers, it doesn't mean it will be free. also need to check if your banks lock in period is from 1st disbursement or full disbursement....

QUOTE(SKY 1809 @ Dec 17 2016, 02:57 PM) If u declare this property as yr first home ..perhaps u could be exempted from paying the tax..but one for life time ...afterall 4 years plus is just a bit short of 5 ...can u wait ? Or u do not mind to pay the tax.. Many countries have this exemption..but best is for u re check with other sources to see whether still applicable here its not worth it to use life time exemption for tis claim...IMO.

QUOTE(David_77 @ Dec 17 2016, 04:01 PM) It's the physical presence in the country that determines tax residence status, i.e 180 days (or 181 days). So if a person (citizen or foreigner) is physically presence in Malaysia for that number of days, then will be consider tax resident. section 4a of Income Tax Act.
