Say if I plan to buy a landed property and I subdivide the land into 2 plots and then rebuild. Plot 1 plot for own stay and Plot 2 to sell.
My lawyer said that Plot 2 will still be subjected to SSD.
Is there a way I can appeal with IRAS on waiving off the SSD. If not, instead of paying the full 100% SSD, pay half of the required amount since I am holding on to plot 1 (assuming both plots are of the same land area and value).
My stand is that I am not a speculator but an owner cum investor. Anyone come accross this?
