Stamp Duty Is Changing — Have You Compared 2025 vs 2026?

Many employers are still applying last year’s stamp duty rules — without realising that 2026 brings a major shift in compliance responsibility and penalty exposure.

What looks like a small update on paper can create real compliance gaps if your employment contracts and business agreements are not handled correctly.

⚠️ From 2026 onwards, stamp duty can no longer be treated as something to “settle later” by default.

With the Stamp Duty Self-Assessment System fully implemented, LHDN expects businesses to:

• Assess stamp duty correctly
• Stamp documents on time
• And bear penalties for mistakes or late stamping

If you’re still relying on old assumptions, you may already be exposed without knowing it.

Why This Matters to Employers:

✅Employment contracts are among the most frequently audited documents

✅ Penalties are imposed based on timing, not intention

✅ “Didn’t know” is not a valid defence under self-assessment

That’s why we’re breaking this down clearly — what has changed, what hasn’t, and what you must do next.

👉 The common stamp duty myth that is costing businesses real money

👉 Which documents need to be stamped
