If only movable assets are transferred: Movable assets are typically not subject to stamp duty. However, if they are part of a single agreement including immovable property, the stamp duty is applicable on the entire business sale transaction amount unless separately valued. If both movable and immovable property are involved: If the agreement clearly bifurcates values, stamp duty applies only to the immovable portion. If no separate valuation is provided, stamp duty may apply to the entire transaction amount at 5%. On Business Transfer Agreement: If the transaction is executed via a Business Transfer Agreement without immovable assets, stamp duty may be 0.5% of the total consideration (subject to a cap)
