Bloomsbury Residences Stamp Duty

A purchase at Bloomsbury Residences attracts Buyer’s Stamp Duty on the price, and for many buyers Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty on top. Seller’s Stamp Duty only comes into play on a resale within four years. The rates on this page were read from IRAS on 21 October 2026.

Buyer’s Stamp Duty on a Bloomsbury Residences Home

Buyer’s Stamp Duty is worked out slice by slice. The first $180,000 of the price bears 1%, the next $180,000 2%, the next $640,000 3%, the next $500,000 4% and the next $1,500,000 5%, and anything beyond $3,000,000 bears 6%; the slices are added together and the total is rounded down to the dollar. These residential rates apply to purchases on or after 15 February 2023.

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 above $3,000,000	6%

A Worked BSD Example for Bloomsbury Residences

This example takes an illustrative price of $1,500,000, chosen only because it is a round number; it is not the price of any home at the development. That price reaches the fourth slice, and the duty comes to $44,600.

Slice	Duty
$180,000 at 1%	$1,800
$180,000 at 2%	$3,600
$640,000 at 3%	$19,200
$500,000 at 4%	$20,000
BSD on $1,500,000	$44,600

The stamp duty calculator applies the same slices to any figure and adds the ABSD for the profile you pick. For a specific home, the Sales Concierge sends the current price list, so the duty can be worked out exactly.

ABSD, where it applies, is a single rate on the whole price. On the same illustrative $1,500,000, a Singapore Citizen buying a second home would owe $300,000 of ABSD, and a Permanent Resident buying a first home $75,000.

Payable early

Within 14 days of signing.

Buyer’s Stamp Duty and any ABSD fall due shortly after the sale and purchase agreement is signed.

Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty for Bloomsbury Residences Buyers

ABSD is charged in addition to BSD. For individuals, the rate turns on residency status and on the number of residential properties already owned at the time of purchase; foreigners and entities pay one rate whatever they own. The rates below apply on or after 27 April 2023.

Buyer profile	First property	Second property	Third and subsequent
Singapore Citizen	0%	20%	30%
Singapore Permanent Resident	5%	30%	35%
Foreigner	60%	60%	60%
Entity	65%	65%	65%

IRAS allows a married couple who buy together, with at least one spouse a Singapore Citizen and no other residential property between them, to apply for ABSD remission; a couple buying a second home can claim back the ABSD if they sell their first home within the time IRAS allows. Under free trade agreements, nationals and permanent residents of the United States, and nationals of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, are charged ABSD at the rates for Singapore Citizens. Every home at Bloomsbury Residences is a condominium apartment, so foreign buyers may purchase any of them at the ABSD rate for their profile.

Seller’s Stamp Duty and Bloomsbury Residences

Seller’s Stamp Duty is payable when a residential property is sold within four years of its purchase. For properties bought on or after 4 July 2025, the rates are:

Holding period at sale	SSD rate
Up to 1 year	16%
More than 1 year, up to 2 years	12%
More than 2 years, up to 3 years	8%
More than 3 years, up to 4 years	4%
More than 4 years	No SSD

Because BSD and ABSD are due within 14 days of the sale and purchase agreement, they sit at the very start of the budget, alongside the 5% booking fee. The progressive payment calculator places them in the full schedule, and the payment scheme page lists each instalment.
