Stamp Duty Abolished for Documents from January 1, 2026

The Tax Department announces that documents executed and signed after January 1, 2026, will not be subject to stamp duty, as stamp duties are being abolished. However, documents executed and signed up to December 31, 2025, will normally be subject to stamp duty and must be stamped in accordance with existing procedures. Licensed Stamp Duty Agents may continue to sell existing stocks, while the payment of fees for other documents via stamp duties will continue until further arrangements are made.
