KUALA LUMPUR The use of adhesive stamps (revenue stamps) and postal franking machines as a method of stamping documents or agreements will be terminated beginning Jan 1, 2024.

In a statement today, the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) said that duty payers are only allowed to use revenue stamps for document or agreement sealing until Dec 31, 2023.

Taxpayers are also advised to use up any remaining revenue stamps in their possession.
