OBJECTIVES

This course helps HR and Finance Teams identify which business documents require stamping, determine the correct duty and complete the process under the Stamp Duty Self-Assessment System (STSDS).

 

Participants will learn to handle common agreements, avoid costly classification and timing errors, and keep records that support their decisions if the IRB reviews them.

AFTER ATTENDING THIS COURSE YOU WILL RETURN TO YOUR JOB…
  1. Making better Stamping decisions by looking at what a document legally does, rather than relying on its title alone.
  2. Reviewing HR Documents with confidence, including employment contracts, offer letters, renewals, secondments and training bonds.
  3. Spotting duty implications in everyday business paperwork, from service agreements and letters of award to purchase orders, addenda and contract extensions.
  4. Working out the appropriate duty treatment for common transactions involving goods, assets, financing, shares, tenancies and property.
  5. Using STSDS through MyTax more confidently, from choosing the instrument category and submitting the BNDS to retaining the stamp certificate.
  6. Catching errors before submission by checking document classification, contract value, deadlines, available relief and related agreements.
  7. Knowing what to do when something goes wrong, including where to consider corrections, objections, refunds or applicable concessions.
  8. Preparing for an IRB review with a practical document register, supporting calculations and records that explain each stamping decision.
  9. Taking away a clearer process for deciding what to stamp, how to submit it and what evidence to keep—so routine HR and finance documents do not become costly surprises.
