5% property gains tax seen as a temporary move

KUALA LUMPUR: The Government’s proposal to impose a real property gains tax (RPGT) of 5% from Jan 1 may just be a temporary measure, says Taxand Malaysia Sdn Bhd managing director Dr Veerinderjeet Singh.

From left: Irene Dorner, Dr Veerinderjeet Singh and Taxand executive director Kang Beng Hoe at the seminar.

“We feel that it is a temporary imposition. We think that in the long term, the original scale rates of 30%, 20%, 15%, etc will be coming back,” he told a press conference prior to a seminar on Budget 2010 jointly organised by Taxand and the Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MICCI) yesterday.

Prior to the exemption of the RPGT in April 2007, tax on gains from property sales was on a progressive basis from 30% to 0% depending on the holding period of the property.

Veerinderjeet however, said that total exemption from RPGT would be unlikely.

“What would probably not change is the 5%,” he said.

He called the RPGT tax imposition a “revenue generating measure that has not gone down too well with individuals.”

“We do agree that 5% does not appear to be sensible. Whether there will be a lot of revenue to be collected, we’re not sure – it depends on the transactions. But people would probably be happier if this took effect from 2011 rather than next year.”

He added however that property owners should be thankful that the RPGT was capped at 5% and not higher.

Putra Line LRT upgraded in conjunction of Opening Sri Rampai LRT Station

Driving against traffic flow within Desa Putra!!!!! Many Inconsiderate Drivers here?

Mr.A said:-
I would add one more item for the guards to police:- noting (and acting on) traffic or drivers who contravene traffic rules within the complex. Yesterday as I was walking from my car to the lift, one car entered illegally at P4 basement parking (entered thru the exit) right in front a guard. He did nothing and walked passed the car. I stopped him and asked him to do something or at least take note of the number plate so we have record of those who regularly break the rules for future reference. Such acts are dangerous and must be stopped. I only see a few of us parked at P4 follow the rule by entering thru P3. The other 80-90% just go the wrong way all the time.

Mr. B said:-
I couldn't agree more with what you said as I've been a witness of such 'careless attitude' ever since March 2007. Really hope that the guards who happen to be at P4 and witness such act to remind the driver that entering the parking via exit door is simply wrong and dangerous. For us residents to remind each other may be a bit difficult as it could become 'personal' and may be misinterpreted. Having said that, there are also cars from P3 exiting via P3 entrance which is more dangerous. So far, I've experienced nearly 10 incidents since I use P3 entrance to go down to P4 on a daily basis, 2 of them nearly resulted in accident. Something has to be done, and let's not wait until accidents actually happen. May I suggest that we put a notice that if an accident were to happen arising from a vehicle entering/existing the parking lot via the wrong way (either to another vehicle or person), the driver of the vehicle that enters/exits the parking lots via the wrong way shall be responsible and liable to pay for all damages suffered by the driver, passenger(s), the vehicle, the person(s) and common property, under whatever circumstances.

The notice should be put at all levels of parking
