Notis Kenyataan Pindaan Senarai Nilaian

I received a letter from Datuk Bandar about this, stated how much money that i need to pay and is there any rejection on the amount that i need to pay. My first thought.. what the hell is this?? Need to pay one wor. few hundred dollars some more.. sure need to read carefully lar..but basically there's nothing much there for you to read ~sigh..

After some googling, i found myself getting more and more confused! So there's cukai tanah, cukai pintu, cukai taksiran, quit rent, assessment and etc. some english, some bm, quit rent i thought is english, but it turns out to be BM (y i say so, becos i'm reading a doc on the gov website, they have something like this, cukai tanah, cukai pintu dan quit rent, so i guess that's malay gua), walaoeh... a lot of question marks popping out in my head..

after reading and reading and reading from forums, articles, documents, gov websites and etc, i finally found out something (correct me if i'm wrong, still not 100% sure, hehe..)

The common taxes that we need to pay are:
1. assessment = cukai pintu = cukai taksiran
Cukai Taksiran atau lebih dikenali dengan Cukai Pintu ialah cukai yang dikenakan ke atas semua hartanah di dalam kawasan Majlis Perbandaran.

Cukai taksiran perlu dibayar dua kali setahun iaitu dalam bulan Januari dan Julai.
2. cukai tanah - only for landed properties, condos/apts are included in the maintenance fees (if i'm not mistaken lar!!)
3. quit rent (not sure wat is this)

So.. the one that i received is a notice to inform me that starting from 1st july 2007, i will need to pay this amount for cukai pintu, and if there's any objection, write a letter to the Datuk Bandar within 10 days.

How they calculate how much you need to pay?
1. Estimation of your property based on the rent value per annum
2. Percentage to be charged (every 2 yrs adjust once)
For Eg:
Your unit can be rented out for RM1K per month, and the percentage they charged for the yr is 5%.

RM 1000 * 12 = RM 12000
RM12000 * 5% = RM600
Based on the eg shown above, the amount of assessment that you need to pay per annum is RM600. 5%-6% is the percentage charged on residential land, as for commercial land it may go up to 10%.

As a conclusion.. STILL NEED TO PAY LOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oo, quit rent = cukai hasil tanah.. saw it from the maybank website!

i wonder why the gov document will the sentence like "cukai tanah, cukai pintu dan quit rent", makes me think that it's 3 different tax.
