    IN tandem with the improving Singapore private housing market, the government has upped development charge (DC) rates for the landed and non-landed residential use groups for the half-year period starting March 1.

    However, it is trimming DC rates for commercial use for the second consecutive time, albeit by a moderated 1.5 per cent on average, following the 3.6 per cent reduction during the previous revision that took effect Sept 1, 2020.
