To All Members of the Malaysian Bar

Notice of Effective Date of Implementation of the Use of Stamp Certificates / Computer Generated Receipts for Payment of Stamp Duty

Further to BC Circular No. 15/2009 dated 13 January 2009, we are informed by the Stamp Duty Division of the Inland Revenue Board that the use of the recently introduced stamp certificates and computer-generated receipts for payment of stamp duty, which was put on hold, is now fully operational with effect from 16 February 2009. However, please note that the implementation of the stamp certificate/receipt is only in respect to the stamping of the Memorandum of Transfer.

In this connection, the authenticity of the stamp certificate and the computer receipt can be verified at the Board’s website at http://pinharta.hasil.gov.my by using the Adjudication Number and the Stamp Certificate/Receipt Number.

For enquiries and further information, please directly contact the Stamp Duty Division at 03-6209 1000 ext. 33763.

Thank you.

Dated 9 April 2009.
