You may need to pay a Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD) when you dispose of the flat within a certain holding period. More information on the seller’s stamp duty can be obtained from the IRAS website (Other Taxes > Stamp Duty for Property).
If you have bought/ intend to, or are listed as an essential occupier of another HDB flat with a second mortgage loan from us, you need to use all your CPF monies available for housing (including the CPF refund) and up to 50% of the cash consideration (if any) to finance the purchase of your next flat.
If you have withdrawn your ownership from a subsidised flat, you will need to meet a 5-year time bar from the date of purchase of the flat (excluding any period of renting out of whole flat and/ or any period of non-occupation) before you can apply to buy another subsidised flat, DBSS flat, or an EC unit directly from the developer.
Existing owners withdrawing their ownership from a subsidised flat* may need to pay a resale levy in cash before buying/ taking over the ownership of another subsidised flat/ Executive Condominium unit sold by the developer.
The resale levy payable is determined at the point of booking the second subsidised flat.
*Subsidised flats refer to flats bought directly from HDB, resale flats bought with CPF Housing Grant or DBSS flats bought directly from the developer.
You may need to pay a Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD) if you acquired the flat on or after 20 Feb 2010 and disposed of your interest in the flat within a certain holding period. More information on the seller’s stamp duty can be obtained from the IRAS website (Other Taxes > Stamp Duty for Property).
You may refer to these available housing options for more information on planning your next home.
