What is the Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty for Permanent Resident and Singaporean joint tenancy

For PRs purchasing their first residential property, the ABSD rate is 5% of the purchase price or market value (whichever is higher).

For a second residential property, the rate rises to 30%, and for third or subsequent properties, it is 35%.

These rates, effective since 27 April 2023, are paid on top of the standard Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD) and remain unchanged as of 2026. When buying jointly with others (e.g., a Singapore Citizen), the highest applicable rate among buyers applies to the full property value. ABSD must be paid within 14 days of signing the sale agreement, and PR status is determined at the purchase date.
