Hi all, would like to ask a qn relating to refund of ABSD paid. When my then fiancee and myself bought a PC last year, we each had our names attached to separate HDB flats, which had since been disposed of. We had to pay up the extra 7% ABSD then of course in the PC purchase.

Now that we are married and only have a single common PC as property, can we apply to IRAS for the ABSD refund? Hope to seek your advice and opinions, esp if u have successfully done so.

Thanks in advance :)

I think depends on your date of purchase and sale (within half year). Most likely can but have to confirm with authorities. Have you applied for ABSD remission already?

Duh!

Singles who are 35 years old and above can buy resale HDB flats lah!

So two singles over 35 years old who had already bought their HDB flats, met each other, fell in love and decided to get married!

I would guess TS' age at 42. His wife may be slightly younger.

is there any information to suggest that they are both above 35 years old? i can think of half a dozen other possible scenarios.
