Written by Lily Chong, Head of IQI Australia The start of the year saw national dwelling values remain steady, with only a slight dip of 0.03% in January. While capital cities experienced a collective 0.2% decline, regional areas continued to grow, reaching new record highs with a 0.4% increase. Among the capital cities, Melbourne led the declines with a 0.6% drop, followed by the ACT (-0.5%) and Sydney (-0.4%). In contrast, Brisbane and Perth maintained growth, though at a slower pace, particularly in the detached housing market. Perth’s quarterly growth rate eased from 7.1% in June 2024 to just 1.0% in the three months to January. Meanwhile, Adelaide remained resilient, leading capital city growth over the past six months with a 4.8% increase. On an annual scale, national home value growth slowed significantly, dropping from a 9.7% peak in February 2024 to 4.3% in January. Melbourne (-3.3%), the ACT (-0.5%), and Hobart (-0.4%) recorded yearly declines, while Sydney posted a modest 1.7% gain—the lowest since June 2023. Regional Victoria was the only broad regional area to see a decline over the past year (-2.6%) . Perth Property Market SnapshotPerth’s housing market remains strong, with the median house sale price rising by 1.4% in January to $750,000—an impressive 23% increase year-on-year. Units also saw positive movement, with the median price increasing by 1.0% to $500,000, reflecting a 20.5% annual rise.According to REIWA CEO Cath Hart, property prices are still on an upward trajectory but at a more measured pace compared to 2024. She noted that while some buyers are taking their time with purchasing decisions, well-presented homes in desirable locations continue to attract strong interest and sell quickly. Sellers are encouraged to set realistic prices and focus on presentation to maximize their chances in the current market. Perth Rental Market TrendsRental prices in Perth also increased, with the median dwelling rent rising 3.1% in January to $670 per week—up 8.9% from a year ago. House rents increased by 1.5% to $680 per week, marking a 6.3% annual rise, while unit rents remained steady at $650 per week, up 12.1% year-on-year.Ms. Hart highlighted that while monthly rent prices continue to fluctuate, the significant slowdown in annual growth rates suggests a more moderate rental market compared to last year. A year ago, annual rental growth was 18.3% for dwellings, 16.4% for houses, and 20.8% for units.For more global update. Click here

Yes, the rental income you’re earning is taxable, and understanding how to handle it correctly is important to keeping things above board and avoiding unwanted penalties in the future. Want to know more about rental income tax and how to file it properly? Keep reading to learn more! Everything About Rental Income Tax What is Rental Income Tax? Who Should Pay Rental Income Tax? When to Pay Rental Income Tax? Where to File Rental Income Tax? Why is it Important to Rental Income Tax? What Happened If You Don’t Pay Tax? Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) What is Rental Income Tax? Rental income tax is the tax applied to money earned from renting properties. In Malaysia, this income is combined with the taxpayer's overall income, which includes salary and business earnings. Rental income is taxed at a progressive rate, meaning that as your income increases, so does your tax rate. Property owners can also deduct specific expenses related to their rental properties, like mortgage interest, maintenance costs, and property management fees, to lower their taxable income. Who Should Pay Rental Income Tax? The rental income tax in Malaysia is applicable to all property owners generating income from residential, commercial, or industrial properties. This includes individuals renting out a single residential unit as well as large investors with multiple commercial properties, as the tax regulations affect anyone receiving rental payments.Additionally, landlords earning rental income via property management firms or agents must report this income to the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) for tax obligations. When to Pay Rental Income Tax? In Malaysia, the timeline for reporting rental income tax is the same as the individual tax filing deadline.If you're a property owner earning rental income in 2024, your tax filing deadline is April 30, 2025. Remember, failing to file on time or not reporting your rental income can lead to penalties or fines from LHDN. So, make sure you're ready to submit your tax return well before the deadline! Where to File Rental Income Tax? Filing your rental income tax is easy using Malaysia’s LHDN MyTax portal. This platform helps both individuals and businesses file their taxes online quickly. For a detailed step-by-step guide, read on How to File Your 2025 Income Tax in Malaysia. If you have questions about the filing process, consider reaching out to a tax expert or a real estate agent who knows the tax rules for properties. Why is it Important to Rental Income Tax? Paying tax on rental income is not only a legal requirement but also promotes transparency in the real estate market and supports national growth. By following tax laws, property owners can steer clear of penalties and ensure their rental income is properly recorded. You can checkout the full list of the 2025 Income Tax Relief. Knowing how rental income tax operates in Malaysia is important for property owners. By keeping yourself updated and organized, you can reduce your tax responsibilities and make sure your property investment remains profitable and compliant in 2025. What Happened If You Don’t Pay Tax? If the property owner misses the tax return deadline on April 30, they might face a late filing penalty. This penalty can either be a set amount or a percentage of the taxes owed. Additionally, if LHDN detects that rental income is not reported or paid, they may conduct an audit to investigate the property owner's financial records. In serious situations, not following tax rules repeatedly can lead to legal trouble. This could mean facing prosecution, which might result in criminal charges, fines, or even jail time, especially for people who deliberately skip paying taxes.

Understanding the Effective Lending Rate (ELR)Source: Bank Negara MalaysiaThe Effective Lending Rate (ELR) is a critical component when evaluating home loans. It represents the total cost of borrowing, expressed as an annual percentage rate. The ELR includes the reference rate and the spread, which collectively impact your monthly repayments.Reference Rate: This is the base rate, like the Standardised Base Rate (SBR), which is influenced by Bank Negara Malaysia's policies.Spread: Additional charges include credit and liquidity risk premiums, operating costs, and the bank’s profit margin.The ELR is crucial as it affects the total repayment amount and helps borrowers compare different loan products effectively.What is the Reference Rate?Source: Bank Negara MalaysiaThe reference rate is a benchmark interest rate used by Malaysian banks to determine the changes in borrowers' repayments on floating-rate loans throughout the tenure. This rate can vary between institutions but is a foundation for setting the lending rate.Is the Reference Rate Equal to the Standardised Base Rate (SBR)?No, the reference rate differs from the Standardised Base Rate (SBR). The SBR is a specific reference rate that standardizes the base rate across all banks. Introduced on 1 August 2022, the SBR is directly linked to the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) set by Bank Negara Malaysia. This standardization aims to simplify the comparison of loan rates across different banks.Is the Reference Rate Equal to the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR)?The reference rate can include the OPR as a component, especially when the SBR is used. The OPR is the interest rate at which banks lend to each other overnight and is set by the central bank. Changes in the OPR directly influence the SBR, affecting the reference rate used for loans.What is Spread?The spread is an additional percentage added to the reference rate to arrive at the ELR. It covers various costs and risks incurred by the bank, including:Credit Risk Premium: Compensation for the risk that a borrower might default.Liquidity Risk Premium: Compensation for the risk associated with the bank’s liquidity.Operating Costs: Day-to-day costs of running the bank.Profit Margin: The bank’s earnings from the loan.The spread is generally fixed for the duration of the loan unless there is a significant change in the borrower’s credit risk profile.3. Understanding House Loan Interest RatesUnderstanding the mechanics of interest rates and how they impact repayments is essential for making informed decisions about Malaysian house loans.What are House Loan Interest Rates?House loan interest rates are the percentage banks charge on the loan's principal amount. These rates determine the cost of borrowing and are influenced by various factors, including the central bank’s policies and the individual bank's cost structures.How to Calculate House Loan Interest Rate?Source: Bank Negara MalaysiaCalculating your home loan interest rate is essential for understanding how much you will pay over time.Use a home loan calculator to determine your monthly instalments and total repayment. Here’s an example:Example Calculation:Bank’s Base Rate (BR): 2.00%Spread: 1.50%ELR: BR + Spread = 2.00% + 1.50% = 3.50%For a loan amount of RM300,000 over 30 years, the monthly instalment would include the interest and principal repayment. Understanding these calculations can help you save money and manage your loan tenure effectively:Annual Interest Amount: RM300,000 x 3.50% = RM10,500Monthly Interest Amount: RM10,500 / 12 = RM875Thus, the monthly repayment would include RM875 in interest plus the principal repayment.What Can Affect Your House Loan Interest Rate?Several factors can influence your house loan interest rate, including:Central Bank Policies: Changes in the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) by Bank Negara Malaysia can directly impact interest rates.Economic Conditions: Inflation and economic stability can influence interest rates.Borrower’s Credit Score: Higher credit scores often result in lower interest rates.Loan Tenure: Longer loan tenures can sometimes attract higher interest rates.4. How Should You Compare Lending Rates Across Banks as Borrowers?Comparing lending rates across banks involves more than just looking at the ELR. Consider the following steps:Review the ELR and Spread: Compare the total cost of borrowing.Understand Additional Fees: Be aware of any extra fees that might apply.Read the Product Disclosure Sheet (PDS): This document provides crucial details about the loan.5. How to Plan and Compare Your House Loan Interest Rates?When planning a home loan, consider the property value, loan amount, and loan tenure. Use a loan calculator to estimate your monthly instalments and ensure you understand all associated fees. Planning and comparing Malaysia house loan interest rates require a strategic approach:Research Different Lenders: Identify potential lenders and their offerings.Interest Rates: Compare the interest rates offered by different banks.Additional Features: Evaluate foreclosure charges and other loan features. Some loans include extra funds withdrawal or linked current accounts for easier management.Read Reviews: Learn from the experiences of other borrowers.Seek Professional Advice: Consult with financial advisors if needed.Maximum Loan Tenure: Most banks offer up to 35 years.Prepayment Options: Check if the bank allows for additional payments without penalties.Insurance Requirements: Most housing loans require Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance (MRTA) or other types of insurance.Flexibility: Compare loans that offer flexible repayment options, like a flexi loan or semi-flexi loan (make sure to understand the terms and conditions).Critical Terms in Home FinancingUnderstanding key terms related to home financing is crucial for navigating the market:Outstanding Principal Balance: The remaining amount you owe on your loan, excluding interest.Home Loan Balance: The total amount left to pay on your home loan.Basic Term Loan: A standard loan with fixed interest rates and repayment terms.Loan Period: The total time over which you will repay the loan.Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance: Insurance that decreases as your loan balance decreases.Choosing the right house loan or home loan in Malaysia requires careful consideration of several factors, including the interest rate, loan tenure, and associated fees. By understanding the options available and using tools like a home loan calculator, you can make a more informed decision that aligns with your financial goals and helps you secure your dream home.Are you looking for a dream house after getting the best house loan interest rates?
