Every Dunearn House purchase carries Buyer’s Stamp Duty, which depends only on the price, and some carry Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty, which depends on the buyer. On a $1,500,000 home, a Singapore Citizen buying a first home pays $44,600 in total; the same purchase as a second home adds $300,000 of ABSD.

Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty on Dunearn House
ABSD is a flat percentage of the whole price. A Singapore Citizen pays nothing on a first home, 20% on a second and 30% on a third; a permanent resident 5%, 30% and 35%; a foreigner 60%; and an entity or trust 65%. Nationals and permanent residents of the United States and nationals of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland are treated as citizens.
Because ABSD applies to the full price, it quickly becomes the largest element of the duty. At $2,000,000, the ABSD on a citizen’s second home is $400,000, almost six times the BSD.
When Dunearn House Stamp Duty Is Paid
Both duties are due to IRAS within 14 days of exercising the Option to Purchase. They are paid in cash; CPF Ordinary Account savings can be used afterwards to reimburse BSD, within CPF limits, but not ABSD. Planning for this cash outlay matters as much as planning the downpayment, since both fall within the same few weeks.
The ABSD Refund for Couples Buying at Dunearn House
A married couple with at least one Singapore Citizen spouse, buying their second home, may claim back the ABSD if they sell their first home within six months of TOP or CSC for a home under construction. For Dunearn House, with vacant possession expected on 31 December 2030, this allows an upgrading couple to stay in their current home while the new one is built. IRAS sets out the conditions in full, and they should be checked before booking.
