UPSIDE POTENTIAL 10:
CCR / RCR LAND PRICE TREND IN SINGAPORE
UPSIDE POTENTIAL 11:
WILL LAND BETTERMENT CHARGE (LBC) RAISE NEW CONDO PSF PRICES?
With effect from 1 August 2022, a new Land Betterment Charge (LBC) will replace Differential Premium (DP), Development Charge (DC) and Temporary Development Levy (TDL), and be administered by the Singapore Land Authority (SLA).
Will the LBC Revision Affect Property Prices? The hike in LBC means that the total cost of developing land is going to rise since developers are going to have to pay a higher tax on the increase in the value of the land as the land betterment charge (LBC) rates for key use groups – residential, commercial, industrial and hotels – for the next half year have all been raised for the first time since a September 2011 review.
The latest LBC rates for the 1 March to 31 Aug 2024 period were announced on 29 Feb 2024, following a review by the Singapore Land Authority in consultation with the taxman’s chief valuer.
Developers pay an LBC for the right to enhance the use of some sites or to build bigger projects on them and this is expected to raise land costs payable by developers when developing the land to build private residential properties.
