Stamp Duty
The tax required to purchase any property in Singapore is called stamp duty. There are two types of stamp duty that will affect some home purchases. They are buyer's stamp duty (BSD), and additional buyer's stamp duty (ABSD).
Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD)
Purchase price or market value, whichever is higher | Stamp Duty |
---|---|
First $180,000 | 1% |
Next $180,000 | 2% |
Next $640,000 | 3% |
Next $500,000 | 4% |
Next $1,500,000 | 5% |
In excess of $3,000,000 | 6% |
The Buyer Stamp Duty is applicable to all buyers purchasing a residential property in Singapore, including new launch condominiums, HDBs and uncompleted projects.
For a residential property of price or market value of $1 million or below, the buyer stamp duty can be calculated using the formula below:
BSD = (3% x Property Price) - $5,400
For a residential property of price or market value above $1 million and below $1.5 million, the buyer stamp duty can be calculated using the formula below:
BSD = (4% x Property Price) - $15,400
For a residential property of price or market value above $1.5 million and below $3 million, the buyer stamp duty can be calculated using the formula below:
BSD = (5% x Property Price) - $30,400
For a residential property of price or market value above $3 million, the buyer stamp duty can be calculated using the formula below:
BSD = (6% x Property Price) - $60,400
Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD)
