Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty on The Serra Residences

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. Married couples with at least one Singapore Citizen spouse who buy jointly may qualify for remission, or a refund on a second property where the first is sold within six months, under the conditions set by IRAS.

When Stamp Duty Is Paid

BSD and ABSD are payable within 14 days of exercising the Option to Purchase or signing the Sale and Purchase Agreement. For a new launch such as The Serra Residences, that is early in the timeline, alongside the first 20 per cent of the price, so the duty belongs in the cash plan from the start.

Seller’s Stamp Duty

For residential property acquired on or after 4 July 2025, Seller’s Stamp Duty applies if the home is sold within four years: 16 per cent in the first year, 12 in the second, 8 in the third and 4 in the fourth, and nil thereafter. For a home bought at launch and held to completion, the holding period usually runs past the SSD window.
