Two duties can arise on a Clovelle of Woodlands purchase: Buyer's Stamp Duty, which everyone pays, and Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty, which depends on how many residential properties the buyer already owns. Both are payable within 14 days of exercising the Option to Purchase, and both are computed on the higher of the purchase price or the market value.
Buyer's Stamp Duty is charged on a progressive scale, with each band applying only to the portion of the price that falls within it.
| Portion of 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% |
Residential scale in force since 15 February 2023. Duty is rounded down to the nearest dollar, subject to a minimum of $1. Confirm with IRAS before committing — rates move at Budgets.
ABSD depends on the buyer's profile and the number of residential properties already held. In practice most buyers here will fall in the first row, because executive condominium eligibility already requires that no applicant or occupier owns private residential property.
| Buyer profile | 1st property | 2nd | 3rd or more |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore Citizen | 0% | 20% | 30% |
| Singapore Permanent Resident | 5% | 30% | 35% |
Rates in force since 27 April 2023. A married couple with at least one Singapore Citizen spouse, where neither owns residential property, qualifies for full ABSD remission; where one property is already held, a refund may be claimed if that property is sold within six months of purchase or of TOP. IRAS conditions are strict — confirm with IRAS.
Seller's Stamp Duty applies to residential property sold within four years of purchase, at 16%, 12%, 8% and 4% across the four years, for properties acquired on or after 4 July 2025. For a first owner of this development it is effectively academic: the five-year Minimum Occupation Period runs longer than the duty window, so by the time a sale is permitted the duty has already fallen away. The MOP guide works through the timing.
The stamp duty calculator applies both scales to a price and profile you enter. Pair it with the progressive payment calculator to see when the duty falls due against the rest of the cash timeline, and the affordability calculator for the borrowing ceiling that sits behind it all.
Rates verified against IRAS in September 2026. Statutory figures change; confirm with IRAS or your conveyancing lawyer before committing.
