A Dunearn House purchase attracts Buyer’s Stamp Duty on the price, and Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty where the buyer’s residency and existing property count call for it. As private residential property, it follows the residential scales set by IRAS.
Dunearn House Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD)
| Portion of the purchase price | BSD rate |
|---|---|
| First $180,000 | 1% |
| Next $180,000 | 2% |
| Next $640,000 | 3% |
| Next $500,000 | 4% |
| Next $1,500,000 | 5% |
| Amount exceeding $3,000,000 | 6% |
Residential BSD rates in force since 15 February 2023, per IRAS. BSD is rounded down to the nearest dollar. Rates can change, and IRAS publishes the figures in force.
The scale is marginal: each slice of the price is taxed at its own rate, so a $1,500,000 purchase carries BSD of $44,600 and a $2,500,000 purchase $94,600. The Dunearn House stamp duty calculator works out the exact figure for any price and profile.
Dunearn House Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD)
| Buyer profile | 1st property | 2nd property | 3rd and subsequent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore Citizen | 0% | 20% | 30% |
| Singapore Permanent Resident | 5% | 30% | 35% |
| Foreigner | 60% | 60% | 60% |
| Entity / trust | 65% | 65% | 65% |
ABSD rates in force since 27 April 2023, per IRAS. Nationals and permanent residents of the United States, and nationals of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, are treated as Singapore Citizens for ABSD under free trade agreements. Rates can change, and IRAS publishes the figures in force.
Married couples with at least one Singapore Citizen spouse who buy a first home together pay no ABSD. A couple buying a second home may claim a refund of the ABSD paid if the first home is sold within six months of the purchase of a completed home, or of TOP or CSC for one under construction, subject to IRAS conditions.
