[SINGAPORE] The government will give a one-off property tax rebate in 2026, to cushion property tax increases for owner-occupiers of both public and private housing.<\/p>\n
Owner-occupiers of Housing & Development Board (HDB) flats will get a tax rebate of 15 per cent, while private residential owner-occupiers will get a 10 per cent rebate capped at S$500.<\/p>\n
This will help to cushion property tax increases for Singaporeans, amid a moderating residential rental market with modest increases in market rents, said the Ministry of Finance and Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (Iras) on Friday (Nov 28).<\/p>\n
The rebate will be automatically offset against any property tax payable in the owners\u2019 2026 property tax bill.<\/p>\n
Owner-occupiers living in three-room and larger HDB flats will see an average property tax increase of S$2 to S$3 a month after the rebate. <\/p>\n
All one and two-room HDB owner-occupiers will continue to pay no property tax.<\/p>\n
Half of private property owner-occupiers will see a property tax increase of less than S$6 a month after the rebate. The rest will see higher increases for generally higher-value private properties.<\/p>\n
All property owners will receive their 2026 property tax bills from December 2025, via SMS and\/or e-mail.<\/p>\n
Payment of the 2026 property tax bills is due on Jan 31, 2026. <\/p>\n
Iras added that property owners facing financial difficulties may approach it for assistance to discuss a suitable payment plan before the due date.<\/p>\n
