Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD)

  • The SSD is payable by those who sell a residential property within a specified period after purchase.  In 2017, this period was reduced from four to three years, and the SSD rates were also reduced by four percentage points for each tier of the holding period.
  • In recent years, the number of private residential property transactions with short holding periods has increased sharply. In particular, there has been a significant increase in the sub-sale of units that have not been completed.
  • Therefore, the Government will revert to the pre-2017 SSD holding period of four years, and raise the SSD rates by four percentage points for each tier of the holding period.
  • These changes will apply to all residential property purchased on and after 4 July 2025, 12.00am. Details of the revised SSD rates are in Table 1.

Holding Period Rates from 11 March 2017 to 3 July 2025 Rates on and after 4 July 2025
