How this estimate works

IRAS lease duty: no duty if the average annual rent (AAR) is S$1,000 or less. For a lease of 4 years or less, duty is 0.4% of the total rent for the lease period. For a lease longer than 4 years or an indefinite term, duty is 0.4% of 4 times the AAR. AAR is the higher of the average annual contract rent and the annualised market rent, including service, maintenance and furniture charges but excluding GST.

Duty is rounded down to the nearest dollar, with a minimum of S$1, and is due within 14 days of signing in Singapore.
