TAX ADVISORY

Stamp Duty Advisory

Structuring and reviewing transactions to reduce stamp duty costs

Stamp duty planning & transaction review


Stamp duty is often an overlooked cost in business transactions, yet it can significantly affect deal economics.

The self-assessment system for stamp duty will be introduced in phases on 1 January 2026, 1 January 2027 and 1 January 2028. With the 2025 Stamp Duty Audit Framework now in effect, businesses must ensure that instruments and agreements are properly structured and documented. We help you identify exemptions, assess duty implications and structure transactions to legally reduce this burden.

Our advisory not only lowers costs but also ensures compliance during audits.

Our services include


  • Stamp duty impact analysis
  • Transaction structuring to minimise stamp duty
  • Review of instruments and agreements
