Frequently Asked Questions (Singapore Investors)

Official answers verified with UAE statutory law and bilateral agreements

Why are Singaporean investors buying property in Dubai instead of Singapore?

Dubai charges 0% Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD), compared to up to 60% ABSD on foreign buyers and 20%-30% for Singapore citizens buying second homes. Furthermore, rental yields in Dubai are 7.5%–9.5% compared to just 2.5%–3.2% in Singapore prime districts.

Reference: Singapore Inland Revenue Authority (IRAS) ABSD Guidelines vs UAE DLD Fee Schedule.

Can Singapore citizens own 100% freehold property in Dubai?

Yes. Under UAE Federal Law No. 7 of 2006 (Article 4), foreign nationals including Singapore citizens have the legal right to purchase 100% freehold property in designated freehold areas across Dubai.

Reference: UAE Federal Law No. 7 of 2006 regarding Real Property Registration in the Emirate of Dubai, Article 4.

Is foreign rental income from Dubai taxable in Singapore?

Singapore adopts a territorial basis of taxation. Foreign-sourced income received in Singapore by resident individuals is generally exempt from Singapore income tax under Section 13(7A) of the Income Tax Act.

Reference: Singapore Income Tax Act 1947, Section 13(7A).
