Buying a home at Linktown Residences attracts Buyer's Stamp Duty on every purchase and, depending on the buyer's profile, Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty. Both are payable within 14 days of exercising the Option to Purchase. The stamp duty calculator totals both for any price.
Buyer's Stamp Duty on residential property is charged on a tiered scale in force since 15 February 2023. Each slice of the price is taxed at its own rate, and the result is rounded down to the nearest dollar.
| Portion of the purchase price | Rate |
|---|---|
| First $180,000 | 1% |
| Next $180,000 | 2% |
| Next $640,000 | 3% |
| Next $500,000 | 4% |
| Next $1,500,000 | 5% |
| Amount exceeding $3,000,000 | 6% |
Rates per IRAS and MAS as at September 2026. Confirm with IRAS, MAS or your bank before commitment.
ABSD is charged on the whole price at a flat rate set by the buyer's profile and the number of residential properties already owned, at the rates in force since 27 April 2023.
| Buyer profile | 1st property | 2nd property | 3rd and subsequent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore Citizen | 0% | 20% | 30% |
| Singapore Permanent Resident | 5% | 30% | 35% |
| Foreigner | 60% | 60% | 60% |
| Entity or trustee | 65% | 65% | 65% |
Rates per IRAS and MAS as at September 2026. Confirm with IRAS, MAS or your bank before commitment.
Married couples with at least one Singapore Citizen spouse who own no other residential property are remitted ABSD in full, and couples replacing a first home may claim a refund of ABSD on the second purchase if the first is sold within six months, under strict IRAS conditions. Nationals and permanent residents of the United States, and nationals of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, receive Singapore Citizen treatment under free trade agreements.
For residential property bought on or after 4 July 2025, Seller's Stamp Duty applies to a sale within four years of purchase.
