(Tax Update) Step-by-Step Guide to Stamping Under the New Stamp Duty Act

For many SME owners, the word “stamping” can feel like another layer of red tape. But whether it’s a tenancy agreement, loan document, or business contract, stamping is compulsory under the new Stamp Duty Act. The good news? The process today is faster, simpler, and fully digital—if you know the steps.

Let’s walk through the stamping process, step by step.

1. Registration of Account – Open an account with the stamping system before using the service
2. Submission – Submit the duly signed contract for stamping within 30 days
3. Appeal on Penalty – If late, you may appeal against any penalty imposed for delay
4. Payment – Pay the assessed stamp duty once approved
5. Stamp Certificate (Sijil Setem) – Receive the official stamp certificate as proof of stamping
