Document background
The Share Certificate Transfer Form is a crucial document in Malaysian corporate practice, required whenever shares in a company are transferred between parties. It must comply with the Companies Act 2016 and related regulations, including stamp duty requirements under the Stamp Act 1949. This document is essential for both private and public companies, capturing key information such as the identities of the transferor and transferee, share details, consideration amount, and necessary declarations. The form serves as the primary evidence of the transfer transaction and must be properly executed, witnessed, and stamped within 30 days of execution. It is particularly important for maintaining accurate corporate records and ensuring legal compliance in share ownership changes within Malaysian companies.
