• One-off Property Tax rebate for all owner-occupied residential properties in 2025
• Revision of Annual Value bands as previously announced at Budget 2024
• All one- and two-room HDB flats will continue to pay no Property Tax in 2025

The Government will provide a one-off Property Tax (PT) rebate of 20% for Owner-Occupied (OO) HDB flats, and 15%, capped at $1,000, for OO private residential properties in 2025. The rebate will automatically offset any PT payable.

2             In addition to the rebate, the Government previously announced at Budget 2024 that all Annual Value (AV) bands of the OO residential PT rates would be raised with effect from 1 January 2025. Homeowners can thus expect to pay the same or lower property taxes at each band, assuming that there is no change in their AVs and before any rebate. 

3             As a result of both changes, all OO HDB flats and over 90% of OO private residential properties, will see lower PT in 2025. This will help Singaporeans mitigate cost-of-living concerns.

Revision of Annual Value Bands for Owner-Occupier Residential Tax Rates  

4          PT is calculated based on a property’s AV, which is the estimated rent a property can fetch in a year if rented out.

5             At Budget 2024, the Government announced that all AV bands of the OO residential PT rates would be adjusted from 1 January 2025 to account for significant increases in residential AVs over the last two years. With the revision of the first AV band from $8,000 to $12,000, all one- and two-room HDB flats will continue not to pay PT in 2025. All other HDB flats will continue to be taxed at the marginal tax rate of 4% (for the portion of AV above $12,000).

6          OO residential properties will continue to enjoy lower tax rates than residential properties not used as homes by their owners. Please see Annex A (PDF, 120KB) for the revised OO residential PT schedule that will take effect from 1 January 2025.

Property Owners to View PT Bills via SMS and/or Email or on myTax Portal  

10        All property owners will receive their 2025 PT bills from December 2024 onwards. As IRAS sends out tax bills in batches, some property owners may receive them earlier than others.

Please check your SMS and/or email notifications from IRAS or log in to myTax Portal to view your tax bill and payment due date. A 5% late payment penalty will be imposed for those who fail to pay or have not set up GIRO instalments by the due date.

12        Property owners are encouraged to apply for GIRO to enjoy up to 12-month interest-free instalments or opt for a one-time deduction. Individual taxpayers may apply for eGIRO^[1] via myTax Portal to set up their GIRO arrangement within minutes. In addition, eligible^[2] retirees may apply for the Extended GIRO Scheme for Residential Property (Retirees), which provides a longer instalment plan of up to 24 months for PT payment.
