Second-timers who have sold their first subsidised flat before 3 March 2006 will have to pay a graded resale levy when they buy their next flat from the HDB. If the graded resale levy was not paid when you sold the first subsidised flat, i.e. you opted to defer the payment until you purchase another HDB flat, interest at a prevailing rate of 5% per annum is charged.
