My elderly mother is staying in a nursing home and has rented out her property to pay for her own expenses. Can IRAS reinistate the owner-occupier tax rates on her property?

Question

Accepted Answer

As your mother has rented out her property, the owner-occupier tax rates are not applicable, and the property tax is payable based on the residential tax rate. While we appreciate that she has reasons for not staying in her property, we regret that we are unable to accede to her request to reinstate the owner-occupier tax rates to the property.
