Do I have to pay stamp duty for the service charge?

Need. When signing a technical service contract, it is often necessary to pay a certain stamp duty. This is because the technical service contract belongs to a specific category, and according to the relevant laws and regulations, the parties to the contract need to pay stamp duty according to a certain proportion of the contract amount. However, for other types of contracts, such as consulting services, training services, audit services, management services, legal services, etc. No stamp duty is required. This is because the nature of these contracts determines their privilege of exemption from stamp duty.

Therefore, before signing the contract, both parties need to make clear the contract type and understand the relevant stamp duty regulations to ensure legal compliance.
