FAQ: Stamping Employment Contracts in Malaysia

LHDN recently released a FAQ to help clarify the stamping of employment contracts.
But it’s only available in Bahasa Malaysia (for now).

So I took some time to read through it, and here’s a summarised English interpretation based on how I understood it (with some parts simplified for easier reference).

I hope this is useful for HR folks, business owners, or anyone dealing with employment contracts.
If you’ve ever wondered:
– Is it mandatory to stamp employment contracts?
– Who’s responsible for paying the stamp duty?
– What if the offer letter has addendums?
… then this guide might be handy for you.

If I missed anything important, let me know!
