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?
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.
