The recent debate over stamp duty on employment contracts has left many Malaysian businesses confused and concerned. Following a major policy clarification from the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) on June 6th, what do companies really need to do to ensure compliance, and what comes next as we head towards a full self-assessment regime in 2026?
This conversation brings the regulator and an industry advisor to the table for more clarity. Shafudin bin Yacob from LHDN and Soh Lian Seng from KPMG in Malaysia join us to break down the new rules, remaining gray areas, and how businesses can prepare for the future of stamp duty.
We discuss:
LHDN's new three-tiered policy on employment contracts explained.
How to prepare for the Stamp Duty Self-Assessment System (SAS).
The stamp duty implications for intercompany service agreements.
Why businesses need to conduct a "health check" on past documents.
The remaining gray areas that still require clarification from authorities.
For business owners, HR managers, and finance professionals, this is an essential guide to navigating the evolving landscape of stamp duty in Malaysia.
