How to Calculate Tenancy Agreement Stamp Duty in Malaysia
Stamp duty is calculated based on the total annual rent, using the monthly rental amount multiplied by 12. The previous RM2,400 annual-rent exemption has been removed under the applicable rules described here.
1. The Formula
Annual Rent = Monthly Rent × 12
Units = Annual Rent ÷ RM250, rounded up to the next whole number
Original Stamp Duty = Higher of RM10 or (Units × Applicable Rate)
Duplicate Copies = RM10 per additional copy
Every RM250 or part thereof counts as one unit. The RM10 minimum applies to the original agreement.
2. Stamp Duty Rates
Rates used by this calculator, based on the rate tiers supplied for agreements executed from 1 January 2025.
| Tenancy Period | Rate per RM250 or Part Thereof |
|---|---|
| Not exceeding 1 year | RM1.00 |
| More than 1 year up to 3 years | RM3.00 |
| More than 3 years up to 5 years | RM5.00 |
| More than 5 years or indefinite | RM7.00 |
3. Calculation Example
RM18,000 ÷ RM250 = 72 units. For a tenancy period not exceeding one year, the stamp duty is 72 × RM1.00 = RM72.00.
Original Agreement Stamp Duty: RM72.00
4. Important Rules and Deadlines
The agreement should be stamped within 30 days of signing in Malaysia. Stamping can be arranged through LHDN's e-Duti Setem service or at a relevant LHDN branch.
Within 3 months late: RM50 or 10% of the unpaid stamp duty, whichever is higher.
More than 3 months late: RM100 or 20% of the unpaid stamp duty, whichever is higher.
An unstamped or insufficiently stamped agreement may not be admissible as evidence in court until it is properly stamped and any applicable duty and penalty have been paid.
