What this result includes

The estimated total stamp duty is RM184.

Common input mistake

From 1 January 2026, tenancy and lease instruments are within the first phase of Malaysia's stamp-duty self-assessment system.

Formula and assumptions

Principal Duty = Ceiling((Annual Rent βˆ’ RM2,400) Γ· RM250) Γ— Term Rate; Additional Copies = RM10 Each

The rate used is RM1, RM2, RM3 or RM4 per RM250 or part thereof above RM2,400 annual rent according to the lease term.

Keep in mind: This is a general Item 49 estimate. Submit the actual instrument through MyTax and confirm exemptions, penalties or unusual lease terms with HASiL or a qualified adviser.
