When do I have to pay RPGT?


For locals and permanent residents who sell off a property, their lawyers will retain 3% of the property’s selling price/disposal price when the purchaser pays the first deposit to buy the property for the purpose for RPGT payment. For non-citizens & foreigners, this retention rate is 7%.

Your solicitor will make the payment with necessary forms to Inland Revenue Board within sixty (60) days from the date of the sale and purchase agreement to meet the RPGT payable.
