Event Outline

With the deletion of the words “stocks and shares” from Section 22(1)(b) of the Stamp Duties Act w.e.f 11 March 2017, sales and purchase agreements (“SPAs”) for stocks and shares are now stampable. Not many practitioners may be aware of the far-reaching nature of this change in the law and the stamp duty treatment of such SPAs, as there was no public consultation exercise conducted and little publicity on the impact of this legislative amendment.This seminar seek to clarify on this amendment.
