From 2 January to 28 February 2025, land and parcel owners can enjoy a 100% exemption on arrears of penalties for land tax and parcel rent.
If payment is made after this period, from 1 March to 31 May 2025, a 50% reduction on arrears of penalties will be given.
This benefit is also available to those who have received a penalty notice (Notice 6A for land tax or Notice 11 for parcel tax).
However, the offer does not apply to those who pay in instalments or settle their late penalties before this date.
The Penang state government revealed that over 40,371 land tax accounts and 67,537 parcel tax accounts have accumulated a total of RM40.1 million.
Unpaid taxes can result in property seizure by the authorities.
This initiative encourages property owners to pay their taxes early for 2025 and reduce the accumulated penalties.
There are two ways for owners to make payments, namely through payment at the district land office and online through the PgLAND portal.
