Budget 2024: Government raises annual value band property tax threshold

The lower threshold will be increased to $12,000.

Deputy Prime Minister Wong said the government will increase the annual value (AV) band property tax threshold in 2025.

From the current lower threshold for AV Bands at $8,000 and below for a 0% owner-occupier residential property tax, the threshold will be increased to $12,000.

The upper threshold with 32% property tax rates will be raised to $140,000 and above, from $100,000.

Wong said the two-step increase in the property tax rate in 2022 was meant as a wealth tax for all investment properties and higher-end segments of owner-occupied private properties.

However, the increase in market rents due to strong demand and supply constraints resulted in a sharp increase in AV bands.

Property taxes were originally expected to affect only the top 7% of owner-occupier residential properties, but those affected nearly doubled to 13%.

Singapore Budget

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
