Frequently asked questions

How do I work out the yield on a commercial property?

Gross yield is a year's rent divided by the price. Net yield takes off empty months, property tax, management fees, insurance and repairs before dividing. The calculator also shows the yield on everything you paid, stamp duty included.

What property tax do I pay on a shop, office or industrial unit?

A flat 10% of the Annual Value. Non-residential property has no owner-occupier rates or progressive bands.

Is there GST on buying commercial property?

Yes, if the seller is GST-registered: 9% on the price. Sales and leases of residential property are exempt. A GST-registered buyer can usually claim the GST back.

Do I charge GST on commercial rent?

If you are GST-registered, yes: 9% on the rent of non-residential property, which you pay to IRAS. Registration is compulsory once your taxable turnover passes S$1 million a year.

What stamp duty applies to commercial property?

Buyer's Stamp Duty at the non-residential rates: 1% to 4% on the first S$1.5 million and 5% above that. There is no ABSD on non-residential property.

Is there Seller's Stamp Duty on commercial property?

Not on shops and offices. Industrial property bought on or after 12 Jan 2013 carries 15%, 10% or 5% if sold within 1, 2 or 3 years.

Can I claim 15% deemed expenses on commercial rent?

No. IRAS allows the 15% deemed expenses only for residential property. For non-residential property you claim the actual rental expenses.
