What is the rental admin to pay?
16 views
When renting out an HDB flat in Singapore, there are several administrative and financial considerations that owners need to be aware of:
Stamp Duty
If you are renting out your HDB flat, you need to pay stamp duty on the tenancy agreement. The stamp duty rate is 0.4% of the total rent for the lease period if the lease is 4 years or less. For leases exceeding 4 years or for indefinite terms, the duty is 0.4% of four times the average annual rent.
Approval and Notification
You must obtain approval from HDB before renting out your flat. You need to submit an application and ensure that all tenants are eligible to rent an HDB flat.
Tenant Eligibility
Ensure that your tenants comply with HDB's eligibility criteria, including the requirement that they must be legally residing in Singapore.
Lease Agreement
You need to have a written tenancy agreement that outlines the terms and conditions of the rental, including the rent, lease period, and responsibilities of both the landlord and the tenant.
Tax Obligations
As a landlord, you are required to report your rental income to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) and pay income tax on it.
Other Charges
You may also need to consider other charges such as service charges, maintenance fees, and any other additional costs that might be included in the rental agreement.
