Key facts about property stamp duties in Singapore
Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD)
BSD is payable on all property purchases in Singapore. The rates are progressive, ranging from 1% to 6%. BSD is computed on the higher of the purchase price or market value of the property.
Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD)
ABSD is an additional tax on residential property purchases. Rates depend on buyer residency status and the number of properties owned. Singapore citizens buying their first residential property are exempt from ABSD. Foreigners face a 60% ABSD on all residential properties.
Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD)
SSD applies when you sell a residential property within a set holding period. For homes bought on or after 4 July 2025, the holding period is 4 years and the rates are 16% (within 1 year), 12% (1-2 years), 8% (2-3 years), and 4% (3-4 years). For homes bought before 4 July 2025, the older rules apply: 12% (within 1 year), 8% (1-2 years), 4% (2-3 years), and no SSD after 3 years.
IRAS-Aligned: Stamp duty rates are based on the latest IRAS rates (BSD and ABSD from 27 April 2023; SSD from 4 July 2025). For commercial and industrial properties, different rules may apply.
