Seller’s Stamp Duty
Seller Stamp Duty is a tax imposed on sellers who sold their private property within a 3 years time frame. The earlier you sell your property, the higher the tax penalty. This rule prevents homeowners profiting from flipping properties.
On the surface it would seem like an undesirable tax rule for investors. However, this strengthens the control the government have over the property market, providing a ‘cushion’ for the housing market during a market economic downturn. Which led to one of the main reason why Singapore is a prime country for real estate investment.
