What is Assessment tax?

Also known as Cukai taksiran, cukai pintu

Assessment tax (cukai taksiran) is an annual property tax charged by a local authority such as MBPP or DBKL, based on the estimated annual value of the property. It is paid twice a year by the owner, not the tenant, unless the agreement says otherwise.

Rates are set by the local council and differ between areas and types of use. Letting a unit for short-term stays can change its use classification at some councils.
