Local insight (Malaysia)
- First-time buyers or specific instruments may pay less — don’t rely on this figure for your cashflow without legal sign-off.
- Use the SPA price your MOT will reference; rebates from the developer can change the dutiable amount.
- Budget stamp duty alongside down payment and legal — it is easy to miss when focusing only on the loan.
