The stamp duty calculator applies the same bands to any figure and adds the ABSD for a chosen profile. The Sales Concierge sends the price list to registrants when it is released, so the duty on a particular home can be worked out exactly.
Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty for Chencharu Central Residences Buyers
ABSD is added on top of BSD. For individuals it depends on residency status and on the number of residential properties already owned at the date of purchase; foreigners and entities pay a single rate. The table shows the rates that took effect on 27 April 2023.
| Buyer profile | First property | Second property | Third and subsequent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore Citizen | 0% | 20% | 30% |
| Singapore Permanent Resident | 5% | 30% | 35% |
| Foreigner | 60% | 60% | 60% |
| Entity | 65% | 65% | 65% |

A married couple buying jointly, with at least one Singapore Citizen spouse and no other residential property between them, may apply to IRAS for remission of ABSD, and a couple buying a second home may apply for a refund if their first home is sold within the period IRAS allows. Under free trade agreements, nationals and permanent residents of the United States and nationals of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland receive the same ABSD treatment as Singapore Citizens. Because Chencharu Central Residences is a private condominium, foreigners may buy there without the approval that landed homes require.
Seller’s Stamp Duty and Chencharu Central Residences
Seller’s Stamp Duty is paid by the seller, and only where a residential property is sold within four years of purchase. For properties bought on or after 4 July 2025 the rates are:
| Holding period at sale | SSD rate |
|---|---|
| Up to 1 year | 16% |
| More than 1 year, up to 2 years | 12% |
| More than 2 years, up to 3 years | 8% |
| More than 3 years, up to 4 years | 4% |
| More than 4 years | No SSD |

BSD and ABSD are due within 14 days of signing the sale and purchase agreement, so they belong in the early part of any budget, beside the 5% booking fee. The progressive payment calculator places them in the overall schedule, and the payment scheme page sets out the instalments.
