Quit Rent KL: Rate ~RM0.035/sq ft, Deadline 28 Feb
Kuala Lumpur quit rent (cukai tanah WP) is administered by the Pejabat Tanah dan Galian Wilayah Persekutuan (PTG WP), not the state government. The annual deadline is 28 February — earlier than most states which use 31 May. If you own landed property in KL, you owe quit rent directly; condo owners pay through their Management Corporation (MC).
KL vs Selangor — Key Difference
KL quit rent deadline is 28 February. Selangor deadline is 31 May. If you own property in both states, note the different deadlines to avoid late payment penalties.

KL Quit Rent Late Payment Penalty: 2% per Month
Miss the 28 February deadline and you will be charged a 2% per month surcharge on the outstanding amount. While the annual quit rent itself is small (typically RM50–200 for a landed home), the compounding penalty adds up, and unpaid quit rent blocks property transactions.
| Months Late | Penalty Rate | On RM100 Quit Rent Bill | Total Payable |
|---|---|---|---|
| On time (by 28 Feb) | No penalty | RM0 | RM100 |
| 1 month late (March) | 2% | RM2 | RM102 |
| 3 months late (May) | 6% | RM6 | RM106 |
| 6 months late (Aug) | 12% | RM12 | RM112 |
| 12 months late | 24% | RM24 | RM124 |

Quit Rent vs Cukai Taksiran (DBKL) — What KL Owners Must Pay
KL property owners must pay two separate taxes to two different bodies:
| Tax | Paid To | Based On | Frequency | Typical Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quit Rent (Cukai Tanah) | PTG WP | Land area (sq ft) | Annually (Feb) | RM50–200/yr |
| Cukai Taksiran | DBKL | Annual rental value | Semi-annually | RM600–3,000/yr |
Bottom Line
For a typical KL landed home (1,500 sq ft), expect to pay around RM52–100/year in quit rent (to PTG WP) and RM600–1,500/year in cukai taksiran (to DBKL). The quit rent is small but must be paid before the 28 Feb deadline to avoid accumulating penalties.
4 Tips for KL Property Owners
1. Set a February reminder
KL's 28 Feb deadline is different from other states' 31 May deadline. Set a calendar reminder in January to pay before February ends.
2. Use MyEG for convenience
MyEG supports all states including WP. Pay quit rent, check outstanding amounts, and download receipts from one platform. Small RM2–5 service fee applies.
3. Settle before selling
Any outstanding quit rent must be cleared before a property transaction can proceed. Your lawyer will check this during the due diligence process.
4. Condo owners — check with your MC
If you own a condo or apartment (strata title), the Management Corporation pays quit rent centrally. Verify this is included in your maintenance fees so you're not paying twice.
