FMM Webinar on Stamp Duty Self-Assessment 2026: Key HR and Finance Compliance Actions Before It’s Too Late
JANUARY 14, 2026 (WEDNESDAY) | 8.30 am- 5.00 pm | ZOOM ONLINE
INTRODUCTION
The 2026 Stamp Duty Self-Assessment Regime places new and direct responsibilities on HR and Finance teams. Everyday documents — from offer letters and contract renewals to service agreements and tenancy arrangements — now fall under stricter audit scrutiny, with penalties for any oversight.
This programme equips HR and Finance professionals with the knowledge to identify chargeable instruments, calculate duties correctly, apply exemptions, and manage compliance using the IRB STAMPS Portal. Strengthen your internal processes, avoid costly errors, and prepare your organisation for a fully enforced self-assessment environment.
OBJECTIVE
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand the expanded scope of stamp duty compliance under the Stamp Act 1949 and the 2025 Audit Framework
- Identify which employment, service, tenancy, and internal agreements are chargeable and must be stamped
- Recognize the compliance timeline, penalty structure, and IRB audit triggers under the new self-assessment regime
- Apply best practices for digital, cross-border, and bulk stamping using the IRB
