No ABSD on Industrial Property in Singapore — Why Smart Investors Are Buying B2 Factories & Warehouses in 2026

Why Industrial Property in Singapore Has No ABSD
One of the most compelling reasons to invest in Singapore industrial property is the complete exemption from Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD). Unlike residential property, where ABSD can range from 20% to 60% for foreign buyers, industrial properties including B2 factories, B1 industrial units, warehouses, and business parks carry zero ABSD.
This No ABSD policy applies equally to Singapore citizens, permanent residents, and foreigners — making industrial property one of the most accessible and attractive real estate asset classes in Singapore.
ABSD Comparison: Residential vs Industrial Property
| Buyer Type | Residential ABSD | Industrial ABSD |
|---|
| Singapore Citizen (1st) | 0% | No ABSD |
| Singapore Citizen (2nd) | 20% | No ABSD |
| Permanent Resident (1st) | 5% | No ABSD |
| Foreigner | 60% | No ABSD |
| Entity/Company | 65% | No ABSD |
