# Does stamp duty apply if I print out contracts concluded using CloudSign?

No, stamp duty does not apply.

With this service, the original copy of the contract is the PDF file. Stamp duty applies to documents that are created for the purpose of proving that a contract has been finalized. However it is not applied to copies created for recording-keeping purposes.
