Formula
How the calculation works
The calculator multiplies the property value by the stamp rate and divides by one hundred to get the base transfer tax.
It then applies a relation multiplier, so a transfer to a blood relative is charged at a lower rate than a sale to a stranger.
The fixed registration fee is added and the total is divided by the property value to show the effective percentage paid.
Common mistakes
- Using the understated deed value instead of the government valuation, since the tax office uses its own assessed value when it is higher.
- Forgetting that registration fee, local government tax and the deed writer charge all add to the stamp duty on the same transaction.
When to use it
- Buyers use it to budget the extra cost of a registration that sits on top of the agreed purchase price.
- Families use it to see how much less the duty becomes when a property is transferred between close blood relatives.
Worked example
For a property worth 5000000 taka at a 4 percent rate between unrelated parties, the transfer tax is 200000 taka, and with a 30000 taka registration fee the total is 230000 taka, an effective rate of 4.6 percent.
Common questions
Is the tax lower between relatives?
Yes, a transfer to a close blood relative or as a gift is charged at a reduced stamp duty rate compared with an ordinary sale to an unrelated buyer.
