Singapore Property Tax Rates

What is Annual Value? 

Annual value is the estimated gross annual rent of the property if it were to be rented out, excluding furniture, furnishings and maintenance fees.
It is based on estimated market rent of similar or comparable properties and not on the actual rental income received.
The way the Annual Value is determined is the same for all properties whether its owner or non-owner occupied. 

More information on Annual Value can be found on the IRAS page here

Residential properties which are rented out are considered investment assets and hence are taxed at a higher rate than owner-occupied properties.
This tax structure makes the property tax system more progressive by ensuring that higher-value properties would be subject to higher tax rates.

The above tax rates apply to non-owner-occupied properties except for those in the exclusion  list specified by IRAS.

These kinds of properties will continue to be tax at 10%

Penalty on Late Payment of Property Tax

In Singapore, taxes are due on the 31st of January every year and 30 days from the bill date, to settle their taxes.

And in case you pay late, there will be a penalty of 5% on the unpaid taxes. However, you are given the right to appeal or ask for the waiver of the late fee waiver. And such may be considered when you pay your overdue tax in full, or if you have been good at paying for the past two years. 

If the amount hasn’t been settled even with the final notice of payment, the billing institution may request the amount to be deducted from your bank account. This is done through the GIRO payment system in Singapore or the General Interbank Recurring Order.

However, this is set by the owner or payer online. 

Tax Exemption

In Singapore, there are a few types of properties which are eligible for a tax exemption. These include,  properties which are being used as places of worship, charitable purposes, for education or schooling, and those which promote social development in the country.
