MP urges removal of ABSD for Singaporeans
Should a citizen who can afford to buy a second or third property through the Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) regime also be required to pay the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD)? This was a question posed by Mr Christopher De Souza in Parliament on Monday, reported Channel NewsAsia. He urged the government to remove the ABSD for Singaporeans while retaining the ABSD for foreigners and TDSR for Singaporeans. “By retaining the TDSR, the Singaporean is only going to be allowed a credit line that is within his means. By retaining the ABSD for foreigners, we help ensure that the foreigners will not enter the Singaporean market in an overly speculative way,” said the MP for Holland-Bukit Timah GRC. First introduced in December 2011, the ABSD was revised upwards in January 2013 to rein in Singapore’s escalating residential property prices. Singaporeans are required to pay an ABSD of seven percent for a second property, and 10 percent for a third and subsequent property. However, foreigners are required to pay an ABSD of 15 percent for their first and subsequent property purchases. Meanwhile, the TDSR framework limits the amount borrowers can spend on debt repayments to 60 percent of their gross monthly income.
若新加坡公民能够负担得起通过总偿债比率(TDSR)购买第二或第三个产业是否还需要支付额外的买方印花税(ABSD)?这是周一在国会议员克里斯托弗·德索萨提出了一个问题,亚洲新闻频道报道。 他敦促政府取消新加坡人的ABSD,同时保持外国人的ABSD和新加坡人的TDSR。荷兰 - 武吉知马集选区国会议员说 “保留TDSR,新加坡人只被允许一个信用额度,通过保留外国人的ABSD,我们帮助确保外国人不会过度投机的进入新加坡市场", ABSD在2011年12月首次推出,修订于2013年1月在于遏制新加坡不断升级的住宅物业价格。新加坡人必须支付ABSD7%于第二个产业,10%的ABSD为第三和随后的财产。但是,外国人必须支付15%的ABSD为他们的第一个和后续购买房产。同时,TDSR框架限制借款人偿还债务不超过60%的月收入
