- Purchase price or market value (higher of)
- Buyer profile (for ABSD)
- Acquisition and sale dates (for SSD)
How it works
BSD is paid by every buyer on a tiered scale. ABSD is an extra duty for second-plus properties or non-citizen buyers. SSD applies if you sell residential property within the holding period. All are charged on the higher of price or market value.
Current Singapore rules
| Portion of price/value | Rate |
|---|---|
| First $180,000 | 1% |
| Next $180,000 | 2% |
| Next $640,000 | 3% |
| Next $500,000 | 4% |
| Next $1,500,000 | 5% |
| Above $3,000,000 | 6% |
Worked example
BSD on a $1,500,000 home: 1%×180k + 2%×180k + 3%×640k + 4%×500k = $44,600. ABSD and SSD, if applicable, are separate.
