Questions
When do I pay stamp duty?
Within 14 days of signing the option or sale agreement. BSD can be paid with CPF, but you usually pay first and get reimbursed.
Can I get ABSD back when upgrading?
Married couples with at least one citizen who buy a second home can get the ABSD refunded if they sell the first one within 6 months.
Do HDB buyers pay ABSD?
Yes, ABSD applies to all homes. Most first-time citizen buyers pay none because the first-home rate is 0%.
