The Malaysia Budget 2026 is out — and there are some updates you might want to know about, especially if you’re an employee, parent, or homeowner. Here’s a quick and easy breakdown:


🌟 Good news for employees!

Starting 1 January 2026, those earning below RM3,000/month won’t need to pay stamp duty when signing employment contracts.


👨‍👩‍👧 More relief for families

  • Life insurance/takaful relief (RM3,000) now includes your children’s policies too.

  • Nursery & kindergarten fee relief is extended to kids up to 12 years old (RM3,000 per family).

  • Parents with children who have learning difficulties can now enjoy RM10,000 tax relief (up from RM6,000).


🏠 Buying your first home?

You’ll still get 100% stamp duty exemption for homes priced at RM500,000 and below — now extended until 31 December 2027.


🏢 Thinking of converting a shop lot into a home?

You can enjoy a special 10% tax deduction on eligible renovation costs (up to RM10 million).


🎟️ Explore Malaysia & save on tax!

During Visit Malaysia Year 2026, you can claim up to RM1,000 in tax relief for local travel and cultural events.
