GST - How Deep the Impact to Property Market?

Jasoncat — Sat, 09 Aug 2014 15:40:09 +0800

Edited from an article from Bloomberg dated August 07 2014

UEM Sunrise Bhd. (UEMS), Malaysia’s biggest developer by market value, said it faces lower profit margins from a new tax and may delay some projects amid the nation’s steepest slump in property sales since the 1998 recession.

The company costs will rise as a 6 percent goods and services tax starting in April 2015 boosts prices of building materials that can’t be passed on for some projects, Izzaddin Idris, an executive director at the Kuala Lumpur-based firm, said in an e-mail interview on Aug. 3. UEM is “revisiting” some of its planned developments as the current slowdown might last for another year, he said.

Malaysian property companies are grappling with higher costs in an industry already reeling from central bank curbs on lending last year and the first interest-rate increase in more than three years in July. Property transactions in 2013 sank the most since the aftermath of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, while home pricesin the first quarter rose at the slowest pace since 2010.

The tax impact will “be reflected in UEM’s future results,” said Izzaddin. “We can expect a slight decline in margins with rising cost pressures.”

Levy Impact

UEM reported a 71 percent drop in first-quarter net income. has declined 13 percent in Kuala Lumpur trading this year. The levy is also weighing on UEM’s competitors. SP Setia Bhd. (SPSB) said in June it made provisions for rising taxes that resulted in a drop in second-quarter earnings. Sunway Bhd. (SWB) estimates a 3 percent impact to its profit margin in the worst case where it can’t pass on any of the tax to buyers, the company said by e-mail.

Profits in the Bursa Malaysia Property Index will drop 12 percent in the next 12 months, versus a 4.9 percent gain for the KLCI Index, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

Government efforts to cool the market will help Malaysia avoid a property bubble, and favorable demographics, rising urbanization and low unemployment will help sustain demand, Edwin Siow and Chris Oh, Kuala Lumpur-based analysts at UBS AG, said in a May report.

While residential property is exempted from GST, the increase in input costs tied to the levy can’t be claimed by developers, said Izzaddin. “Most contractors or suppliers that are tendering for projects are already factoring in potential cost increases pursuant to the GST.”

Lower Demand

Property transactions might see a short-term increase as buyers rush to complete deals before the GST, though sales will probably slow again after the tax is implemented, he said.

The government started imposing stricter lending standards on banks from 2010 to cool the property market. In July last year, Malaysia’s central bank shortened the maximum length on mortgages to help curb household indebtedness that has risen by an annual average 12 percent in the past five years.

From January this year, policy makers stopped developers from absorbing some interest payments on loans and raised the capital gains tax to 30 percent on homes sold within five years.

Property transactions dropped 11 percent in 2013, according to the National Property Information Centre, the most since a 32 percent slump in 1998, when Malaysia had its first recession in 13 years. The Malaysian House Price Indexrose 8 percent in the first three months of 2014, the slowest growth since the third quarter of 2010.

Developers offered 6,339 new units in the first quarter, a drop of almost 50 percent compared with the previous quarter. Only 30 percent of the units were sold.

“The property market is cyclical in nature,” Izzaddin said. “We strive to be more nimble and are developing a new consciousness among all employees” to keep costs low, he said.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The impact of GST undoubtedly cannot be ignored. From business point of view, the developers will try to increase or preserve their profit margin as much as they can, thus the increased costs of inputs will definitely be passed on to the buyers. What makes it worst is some unethical developers may just compromise the quality of the product delivery but at the same time still trying to squeeze from the buyers.

Do you think with the GST around the corner, there will be last minute surge in the property sales volume? Are you also of the that there will be a slump in the property market pist implementation of GST?

Your views are most welcome!

Canary Garden (Klang) - Worth Buying?

Jasoncat — Sun, 01 Jun 2014 18:55:28 +0800

Hi guys, the Canary Garden (Bandar Bestari) project located at Klang developed by the KSL Group seems to be a very high end and exclusive one - do you think it's a viable project? Price reasonable for SemiD @ RM1.40m+? Any good access road avoiding jam to KL town? Developer reputation and workmanship - any comment?
