Malaysia Stamp Duty Briefing Update

The Malaysian Government announced during the 2025 Budget Speech that the Stamp Duty Self-Assessment System (SDSAS) will be implemented in phases starting 1 January 2026. To help members prepare for this transition, AMCHAM hosted a briefing on 9 December featuring experts from PwC and Christopher & Lee Ong, who provided key updates and practical implications for businesses.

Margaret Lee, Partner at PwC, presented an in-depth overview of stamp duty in Malaysia, covering key instruments, rates, IRB guidelines, and the new Self-Assessment System. Tracy Wong, Partner at Christopher & Lee Ong, further explained recent updates to the Stamp Act and shared relevant case studies.

AMCHAM thanks both speakers for their valuable insights and engagement with our members.
