Artist’s impressionStamp Duty on a Lentoria Home: the Short Answer
Every buyer of a home at Lentoria pays Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD) on the purchase price or the market value, whichever is higher, and some buyers also pay Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD), depending on their residency status and on how many residential properties they already own. Both are payable within 14 days of signing the sale and purchase agreement.
The rates below are those IRAS published when this site checked them on 22 October 2026. Seller’s Stamp Duty is a separate matter that only comes into play when a home is sold again inside four years.
How Buyer’s Stamp Duty Is Worked Out at Lentoria
BSD is charged in slices of the price, each with its own rate. The first band of the price bears 1%, the second 2%, and the rate steps up through 3%, 4% and 5% to 6% on whatever exceeds the top band; the duty is the total of the six bands. These residential rates apply to purchases made on or after 15 February 2023.
| Band of the price | BSD rate |
|---|---|
| First band | 1% |
| Second band | 2% |
| Third band | 3% |
| Fourth band | 4% |
| Fifth band | 5% |
| Remaining amount above the fifth band | 6% |

The Lentoria stamp duty page lists the amount covered by each band and works through an illustrative example, and the stamp duty calculator runs the same bands for any figure you enter, adding ABSD for the buyer profile you choose. The current price list for an actual home comes from the Sales Concierge.
Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty at Lentoria
ABSD has no bands: a single rate is applied to the full price. For individuals, the rate depends on residency status and on how many residential properties the buyer already owns when buying; foreigners and entities are charged a single flat rate, however many properties they hold. The table shows the rates for purchases 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% |

Lentoria is a private condominium, so foreigners may buy its homes without the separate approval required for landed homes, with ABSD at the foreigner rate. Free trade agreements give some foreign buyers the Singapore Citizen treatment for ABSD: nationals and permanent residents of the United States, and nationals of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
ABSD Reliefs Lentoria Buyers May Ask About
Some buyers qualify for relief. Where a married couple buy together, at least one of them is a Singapore Citizen and neither owns another home, a remission of ABSD may be sought. A couple who buy their next home before selling the current one may claim a refund if the old home is sold within the period IRAS sets.
Each relief has its own conditions, and the rates themselves can change, so the stamp duty page carries the date on which the rules were last read, and buyers should check with IRAS before signing.
For a Singapore Citizen buying a first home, the ABSD rate is 0%, so BSD is the only duty at purchase; for every other profile, ABSD is added to BSD and paid within the same 14 days. Neither duty is part of the progressive payment instalments, so the money for it has to be ready at the start. On request, the Sales Concierge works out the duty that would apply to a particular buyer for a chosen home, with the instalments alongside.
Seller’s Stamp Duty and a Later Sale of a Lentoria Home
Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD) is the seller’s tax, and it applies only when a residential property changes hands within four years of being bought. On homes purchased on or after 4 July 2025, it starts at 16% in the first year and falls by four percentage points for each further year held, so a sale after four years attracts none.
| 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 |

Stamp duty is one of the first payments in a purchase at Lentoria, due alongside the 5% booking fee and well before most of the loan is drawn. The progressive payment calculator folds BSD and ABSD into the payment schedule, and the payment scheme page lists the instalments that follow.
