The implementation of Malaysia’s Stamp Duty Self-Assessment System marks a major shift from authority-led assessment to taxpayer responsibility. Companies are now expected to identify chargeable instruments, determine the correct duty treatment, apply exemptions or remissions where available, submit documents through e-Duti Setem, and maintain proper records for audit purposes.

This course is designed to help participants understand the practical impact of stamp duty self-assessment on daily business documents such as tenancy agreements, service contracts, employment contracts, loan documents, security instruments and share transfers.

Participants will learn how to recognise stampable instruments, differentiate fixed duty and ad valorem duty, avoid late stamping penalties, manage online submission procedures and prepare supporting evidence for audit readiness.

The course also highlights department-level responsibilities and practical controls to strengthen compliance across Finance, HR, Admin, Legal, Procurement and Management teams. It equips organisations to reduce compliance risk, improve document governance and prepare confidently for stamp duty audit reviews.
