Who should arrange tenancy stamping, and what proof should I receive?
Clarify the responsible party and authorised handler for the actual tenancy instrument. Rental and lease instruments are in the first phase of HASiL’s STSDS from 1 January 2026. Confirm the submission and payment deadlines, the instrument details and applicable duty or relief; a document service fee is separate from government duty.
What to do next
- Check the signed version, parties, rent, term, execution details and required tax identifiers; ask who is legally responsible and who will submit.
- Use the current official HASiL channel or an authorised representative; verify the calculation and deadlines without sharing your account password.
- Obtain the Stamp Certificate and relevant payment/application records, keep them with the matching signed tenancy and give each party its agreed copy.
Stamping is not approval of every tenancy clause or the premises’ use. Ask HASiL about the actual duty and filing treatment, and a solicitor about disputed clauses or evidential consequences.
