Stamp duty for Singapore residential properties like THE OLIV consists of Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD)—payable on all purchases—and Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD), which varies by buyer profile.
Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD) Rates (from 15 Feb 2023)
BSD applies to the higher of purchase price or market value, using these tiers:
- First $180,000: 1%
- Next $180,000 ($180,001–$360,000): 2%
- Next $640,000 ($360,001–$1,000,000): 3%
- Next $500,000 ($1,000,001–$1,500,000): 4%
- Next $1,500,000 ($1,500,001–$3,000,000): 5%
- Above $3,000,000: 6%
Example for a $2M condo: $1,800 + $3,600 + $19,200 + $20,000 + $25,000 = $69,600 total BSD.
For properties under $1M, quick formula: (0.03 × value) – $5,400 (e.g., $800K property: $18,600).
