WEALTH TAXES
Any capital gains tax may hit Singapore mass-market condos the most: survey
Poll by NUS+RE finds dip in foreign buying also likely if property sales tax or inheritance tax is introduced
Singapore
IF Singapore starts taxing all gains from selling properties or reintroduces an inheritance tax, demand for mass-market condominiums is expected to be dampened the most, a survey found.
A dip in foreign buying activity is also likely, although only a minority of Singaporean investors may decide to focus more on overseas markets, real estate executives said in a poll by the National University of Singapore Real Estate (NUS+RE).
