The loophole is now closed.

The government has closed an existing loophole meant to help cool the property market “arising from its periodic policy review.”

This comes less than half a year after the government’s most recent round of property cooling measures out on Dec 15, where among others, ABSD has been raised to 17% from 12% for Singaporeans buying their second property. ABSD may also be payable, depending on the profile of the beneficial owner of the residential property transferred into the trust.

With this latest change, ABSD will be payable even if there is no identifiable beneficial owner at the time the residential property is transferred into a trust.
