Form IRSD110 Property Document Summary of Stamping Applications
Form IRSD110 is a statutory form from the Inland Revenue Department. It is a consolidated summary that accompanies a stamping application for property transactions. The form requires the applicant to list and describe each property document presented for stamping. This includes conveyances, agreements for sale, assignments, and other real estate instruments. The summary organises the submission and declares the key particulars of each instrument.
Purpose of Form IRSD110 in the Stamping Process
When a property transaction occurs, the relevant instruments must go to the Stamp Office for stamping. The Stamp Office assesses the proper stamp duty payable based on the consideration, the transaction's nature, and the property category. Form IRSD110 acts as a cover sheet. Without this itemised list, the Stamp Office cannot efficiently process the application.
File the form with the original instruments, such as the assignment or conveyance, and supporting documents like the sale and purchase agreement, certificate of identification, and proof of payment. The IRD uses the summary to cross-check the documents and record the stamping outcome. The form does not replace the need for adjudication or payment of duty; it is a procedural requirement.
IRSD110 Property Document Summary
This section requires a summary of each property document submitted. For each document, include:
- Document type: Specify whether it is a conveyance, assignment, agreement for sale, lease, mortgage, or other instrument.
- Date of the document: The date the instrument was executed.
- Parties to the document: The full names of the transferor and transferee, or the lessor and lessee.
- Property description: The address, lot number, and any other unique identifier.
- Consideration: The amount of money or other valuable consideration.
- Stamp duty payable: The amount of stamp duty assessed or estimated, if known.
Ensure the particulars match the original documents exactly. Any discrepancy may cause the Stamp Office to reject the application or require a corrective declaration.
Hong Kong Stamping Application Summary
The stamping application summary is the core of Form IRSD110. It consolidates all property documents into a single schedule for the Stamp Office. Complete the summary in duplicate if you require a stamped copy for your records. The IRD retains one copy and returns the other with the stamping certificate.
The summary includes a declaration section where the applicant or their authorised representative confirms the information is true and complete. This declaration is a formal statement under the Stamp Duty Ordinance (Cap. 117). A false declaration may result in penalties or prosecution.
Form IRSD110 Property Stamping
"Form IRSD110 property stamping" refers to the form's use for stamping property instruments. The Stamp Office requires the form for any application involving more than one document, or when the applicant seeks adjudication of stamp duty. The form may also be requested for a single, complex transaction, such as a transfer of multiple properties.
Attach the original instruments and any certified true copies. The Stamp Office may also request additional documents, such as a corporate transferee's certificate of incorporation or a power of attorney if the applicant is not a party to the transaction.

Declaration and Particulars
The declaration on Form IRSD110 is critical. The applicant must declare that the particulars are true and that the documents are the original instruments or certified true copies.

The particulars section requires the total number of documents submitted and the total stamp duty payable. This total must match the sum of the individual amounts listed in the table. The Stamp Office uses this total to issue the stamp certificate.
