Every purchase at Aurea carries Buyer’s Stamp Duty, and Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty is added according to the buyer’s profile. Seller’s Stamp Duty arises only on a resale within four years. The rates below are those published by IRAS and in force on 7 October 2026.
Buyer’s Stamp Duty on an Aurea Home

| Next $180,000 | 2% |

Homes at Aurea run from the 635 sq ft 2-bedroom of the Prestige Collection to the Sky Villas at the top of the tower, as the Aurea floor plans show. The stamp duty calculator applies the bands to any figure, and the Sales Concierge sends the current price list.
Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty for Aurea Buyers
ABSD is payable on top of BSD. For individuals the rate turns on residency and on the number of residential properties already owned on the purchase date; foreigners and entities pay a single rate. These rates took effect on 27 April 2023.
| Buyer profile | First home | Second home | 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, with at least one Singapore Citizen spouse and no other residential property between them, may apply for ABSD remission; a couple who sell their existing home within the period IRAS sets may apply for a refund. Under free trade agreements, nationals and permanent residents of the United States and nationals of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland receive the same ABSD treatment as Singapore Citizens. Aurea is a condominium, so foreign buyers may purchase without the approval that landed housing requires.
Seller’s Stamp Duty and Aurea
SSD is paid by a seller, and only on a residential sale within four years of purchase. For homes bought on or after 4 July 2025 the rates below apply; earlier purchases follow the previous three-year table.
| 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 |

Both BSD and ABSD are due within 14 days of signing, early in the purchase, so they are planned alongside the booking fee. The progressive payment calculator places them in the overall schedule, and the Aurea payment scheme sets out the instalments.
