How do I calculate the holding period for Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD)?
For SSD purposes, the holding period is generally calculated from the date of purchase/acquisition to the date of sale/disposal.
Date of Property Purchase/Acquisition | Minimum Holding Period |
|---|---|
Between 14 Jan 2011 and 10 Mar 2017 (all inclusive) | 4 Years |
Between 11 Mar 2017 and 3 Jul 2025 (all inclusive) | 3 years |
On and after 4 Jul 2025 | 4 Years |
Please refer to the IRAS website for more information on calculating the holding period for SSD under different circumstances.

My wife and I purchased a private residential property on 1 Oct 2005. On 10 Mar 2022, my wife transferred her half share of the property to me by way of gift. As a result, I became the sole owner of the property. I sold the property on 1 Sep 2022. As I have been an owner and occupant of the property since 1 Oct 2005, do I need to pay Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD) on the sale?
