Before you offer
Six checks on a commercial property in Johor
- Land use and express condition. The title shows whether the land is for commercial, industrial or residential use. A shop on residential land, or a factory outside an approved industrial zone, limits what you can do and who will lend.
- Certificate of Completion and Compliance (CCC). Confirm the building has its CCC and that any change of use has been approved by the local council.
- Business licence fit. Check with the council (MBJB, MBIP, MPKu or MBPG, depending on the address) that your trade can be licensed there before you commit.
- Existing tenancy. A tenanted shop or factory comes with its lease; read the rent, term, renewal option and who pays for repairs.
- Financing. Banks lend on commercial property on different terms from homes; get a pre-assessment before the offer.
- Holding costs. Assessment and quit rent are higher on commercial land; budget for them with any service charge.

Tax
Stamp duty, RPGT and service tax
- Stamp duty on the transfer uses the same scale as homes: 1% of the first RM100,000, 2% of the next RM400,000, 3% to RM1 million and 4% above.
- RPGT applies when you sell, at the same rates as residential property.
- Service tax on rent. Renting out commercial property became a taxable service from 1 July 2025 (8%), reduced to 6% from 1 January 2026, for landlords whose commercial rental turnover exceeds RM1 million in 12 months. Residential rent is outside the scope.
- Tenancy stamp duty is charged on the annual rent and the length of the lease; see renting out in Johor.
Straight answers
Frequently asked questions
Can a foreigner buy commercial property in Johor?
Generally yes, with Johor state consent, but the state sets its own minimum prices and conditions for commercial and industrial property, which can differ from the residential minimum. Bumiputera lots are closed to foreigners. Your lawyer confirms the current figure for the specific title.
Where is industrial demand strongest in Johor?
Kulai recorded the largest rise in industrial transaction value in early 2025 (up about 208% year on year, per Knight Frank via The Edge Malaysia), linked to the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone. Senai, Kulai and Pasir Gudang have the most factories on the portals.
What do offices in Johor Bahru rent for?
On Mudah in October 2026, conventional office units of 650 – 1,700 sq ft in JB asked RM1,500 – RM5,500 a month (about RM1.80 – RM3.30 psf). Consultants reported Grade A rents of about RM5 psf in March 2026.
Is there service tax on commercial rent?
Yes, 6% from 1 January 2026, for landlords whose commercial rental turnover exceeds RM1 million in 12 months; it was 8% from July to December 2025. Residential rent is not taxed this way.
Do you charge the buyer or tenant a fee?
For co-broke units the owner usually pays the agent’s fee, shared between the listing agent and me. If a different arrangement applies, I tell you before the viewing.
