I solely own a HDB flat for 10 years. Will adding my spouse as an occupier affect the Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD) liability if I sell my HDB flat immediately after?

Updated by IRAS

No, occupiers of HDB flats are not considered owners of the flat.

Since there is no change of ownership and you have owned the flat for more than 10 years, SSD does not apply.

You may refer to Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD) for more information on SSD and its stipulated holding period.

I purchased (i.e. signed the Agreement for Lease) a replacement flat under the Selective En-bloc Redevelopment Singapore Citizen Scheme (SERS) on 1 Feb 2021. On 1 Sep 2023, HDB confirmed that I have fulfilled the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) of 7 years for the replacement flat and granted approval for me to sell the replacement flat. I sold my replacement flat on 1 Oct 2023. Will the sale be subject to Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD)?
