Frequently asked questions
How much stamp duty do I pay when buying property in Singapore?▾
Singapore property buyers pay Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD) on the purchase, and may also pay Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) if they are a Singapore Permanent Resident, foreigner, entity, or buying a 2nd/3rd residential property as a Singapore Citizen. BSD is tiered (1% to 6% residential). ABSD is a flat rate depending on buyer profile and property count.
Is BSD or ABSD payable first?▾
Both are payable simultaneously, within 14 days of executing the OTP or S&P in Singapore (30 days overseas). In practice your conveyancing lawyer handles payment at e-Stamping.

What about Free Trade Agreement nationals?▾
Citizens (and PRs in some cases) of countries with applicable FTAs — currently the United States, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland — are treated as Singapore Citizens for ABSD purposes. They pay 0% ABSD on their 1st residential property in Singapore. Eligibility conditions apply.
