Further to the Media Statement issued on 26 June 2026, the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) extended the Stamp Duty Special Voluntary Disclosure Programme (SVDP) for 6 months until 31 December 2026.
While conditions of the SVDP remain the same (refer to our previous tax alert for the conditions), the extension provides duty payers additional time to stamp the eligible instruments and pay the relevant stamp duty on or before 31 December 2026.
Duty payers who have not participated in the SVDP should grab this opportunity to plan early and strategically in utilising the SVDP to disclose past unstamped instruments and to ensure historical non-compliance stamp duty risk is mitigated. Duty payers are encouraged to stamp the eligible instruments as early as possible to ensure that both the Notice of Assessment can be issued and stamp duty can be paid within the SVDP period.
