SINGAPORE \u2013 Singaporeans will get a one-off property tax rebate of 15 per cent for owner-occupied HDB flats in 2026 to help ease the impact of property tax hikes. <\/p>\n

Those with owner-occupied private residential homes will also get a rebate of 10 per cent, capped at $500, said the Ministry of Finance and Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore in a joint statement on Nov 28. <\/p>\n

The move will help to cushion property tax increases for Singaporeans, amid a moderating residential rental market with modest increases in market rents, said the statement.<\/p>\n

The rebate will be automatically offset against any property tax payable in the 2026 property tax bill, which owners will receive from December 2025.<\/p>\n

Property tax is calculated based on a property\u2019s annual value, which is the estimated rent a property can fetch in a year if rented out. <\/p>\n

The Government provided a similar rebate in 2024, <\/p>\n

aimed at easing cost-of-living concerns for home owners<\/p>\n

<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Home owners living in three-room and larger HDB flats will see an average property tax increase of $2 to $3 per month, after the tax 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 $6 per month, after the property tax rebate. <\/p>\n

The rest will see higher property tax increases, with their properties generally being of higher value, said the statement. <\/p>\n
