Every property purchase in Singapore triggers Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD), calculated progressively on the purchase price or market value, whichever is higher.
| Purchase Price/Value | Rate |
|---|---|
| First $180,000 | 1% |
| Next $180,000 | 2% |
| Next $640,000 | 3% |
| Next $500,000 | 4% |
| Next $1,500,000 | 5% |
| Above $3,000,000 | 6% |
Unlike Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD), BSD applies to all buyers regardless of citizenship or number of properties owned — it's the baseline cost of any property transaction.
Foreign buyers, PRs, and Citizens buying a second or subsequent property must also pay ABSD on top of BSD — see our ABSD Guide for details.
