## Should I buy property through a Sdn Bhd?

Last updated: 15 October 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

Companies can hold property, but the treatment differs from personal ownership in ways that matter: financing margins are typically lower for companies, real property gains tax rates differ, and a company holding mainly property income may be treated as an investment holding company with restricted expense deductions. There's no universally better answer.

Also asked as: buy property under company; RPGT company vs personal; syarikat pegang hartanah; property investment company malaysia.

This is a case where the tax advice should come before the incorporation. We'll set up whatever structure you decide on, and we'll say plainly that the decision itself belongs with a tax advisor who has seen your numbers.

### Key facts

- Company financing margins typically lower
- RPGT treatment differs company vs individual
- IHC rules may restrict deductions
