I have sold my property effective from Dec 2025. Am I still required to pay the property tax for 2026?

Updated by IRAS
If the sale completion is before 1 Jan 2026, you may ignore the property tax bill for year 2026. HDB or your lawyer would notify IRAS within one month of the transfer so that the new owner will be billed for the year 2026. If you continue to be billed after the transfer of your property, please check with your lawyer if IRAS has been notified of the transfer.

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?
