Consequences of Non-Compliance

What Happens If You Don't Comply?

💸Financial Penalties up to RM10,000
Late stamping triggers compulsory penalties — a RM10 agreement can snowball into a six-figure duty bill once audited.

🔍LHDN Audit Risk
Unstamped documents create a paper trail that flags your business during tax audits — exposing years of non-compliance at once.

⚠️Contract Not Admissible in Court
Unstamped agreements may not be admissible in court unless properly stamped (with penalty).

💰Liability as a Director
Under SDSAS, the boss (not the lawyer or admin) bears full responsibility. Penalties go to your company and to you directly.

Every week you delay is another week of risk. Lock in your seat today.
