Is stamp duty payable for the renewal of a tenancy agreement if there is no change in rental fees?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, stamp duty is applicable for the renewal of a tenancy agreement even if there are no changes in the rental fees. Stamp duty is a tax imposed on documents related to immovable properties, stocks, and shares, so stamping is required when the document for the renewal of the tenancy agreement is executed.

You can stamp the tenancy agreement by following these steps:

1. Log in to myTax Portal and navigate to "Stamp Duty".

2. Click on "Stamping" on the top navigation bar.

3. Select "Lease & Tenancy".
