Artist’s impressionBuying a home at Lentor Gardens Residences brings Buyer’s Stamp Duty on the price and, depending on the buyer, Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty as well. Seller’s Stamp Duty applies only to a resale within four years. The rates below are as IRAS published them on 20 October 2026.
Buyer’s Stamp Duty on a Home at Lentor Gardens Residences
Buyer’s Stamp Duty is charged in six bands of the price. The first $180,000 is taxed at 1%, the next $180,000 at 2%, the next $640,000 at 3%, the next $500,000 at 4%, the next $1,500,000 at 5% and anything above $3,000,000 at 6%, and the duty is the total of the bands, rounded down to the dollar. These residential bands 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 BSD Example for Lentor Gardens Residences
The example below uses an illustrative purchase price of $1,500,000, which is not the price of any home at the development. The price reaches the fourth band, and the four slices add up 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 runs the same bands on any price and adds the ABSD for the buyer profile you choose. For a particular home, the Sales Concierge sends the current price list so the duty can be worked out to the dollar.
ABSD, where it applies, is one rate on the whole price. On the same illustrative $1,500,000, a Singapore Citizen buying a second property would pay $300,000 of ABSD and a Permanent Resident buying a first property $75,000.
Within 14 days of signing.
Buyer’s Stamp Duty and any ABSD are payable soon after the sale and purchase agreement is signed.
Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty for Lentor Gardens Residences Buyers
ABSD sits on top of BSD. For individuals the rate depends on residency status and on how many residential properties are already held when the purchase is made; foreigners and entities pay a single rate whatever they own. These rates 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% |

A married couple buying together, where at least one spouse is a Singapore Citizen and neither owns another residential property, may apply to IRAS for remission of ABSD; a couple buying a second home may claim a refund of the ABSD if they sell their first home within the period IRAS allows. Under free trade agreements, nationals and permanent residents of the United States, and nationals of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, pay ABSD at the Singapore Citizen rates. The apartments at Lentor Gardens Residences are open to foreign buyers; the three strata terrace houses are landed homes, and the developer offers them to Singapore Citizens only.
Seller’s Stamp Duty and Lentor Gardens Residences
Seller’s Stamp Duty is paid by a seller who disposes of a residential property within four years of buying it. 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 |

BSD and ABSD fall due within 14 days of the sale and purchase agreement, so they belong at the front of the budget beside the 5% booking fee. The progressive payment calculator places them in the full schedule, and the payment scheme page lists every instalment.
