## How do I transfer shares in a Sdn Bhd?

Last updated: 20 September 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

The chain: an instrument of transfer signed by both parties, board approval (private companies typically restrict transfers), stamping at LHDN — stamp duty is assessed on the higher of the price or the shares’ value determined for stamp-duty purposes — then the register of members is updated and SSM notified. We handle the sequence for a quoted fixed fee.

The stamping valuation step surprises people: transferring 'for RM1' doesn't avoid duty if the company has real net assets. Budget for duty on the true value.

Net assets may inform valuation, but are not a universal substitute for the applicable share-valuation rules. Confirm the valuation basis, reliefs and duty before signing.
