- Affected market
- Private residential projects of licensed housing developers that go entirely through the CORENET X approval process for building works, whose first Design Gateway submission falls from 18 December 2023 to 30 September 2026 for a GFA of 30,000 sqm or more, or to 30 September 2027 for a smaller GFA, and which have at least 6 months of the 2-year commencement timeline left at that submission. A separate 6-month project completion period extension, stated with the same dates in later help centre guidance, reaches Government sale sites, land alienated or lease-renewed by SLA, and qualifying certificate projects. Buyers other than licensed housing developers, and every ABSD rate, are outside it.

- Revisions to Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty Regime for Housing Developers to Support Complex Projects and Onboarding to CORENET X
On 3 September 2025, the date IRAS gives, Singapore extended the qualifying window for the CORENET X extension of housing developers' ABSD remission timelines. A first Design Gateway submission by 30 September 2026 now meets the window condition for a project of 30,000 sqm GFA or more, instead of 31 December 2025, and by 30 September 2027 for a smaller project, instead of 31 December 2026. The existing 6-month extension to the commencement, completion and sale timelines did not change. A project also has to go entirely through CORENET X and have at least 6 months of its 2-year commencement timeline left at that first submission, and the developer applies through URA's project facilitators. The extension cannot be added to a complex-project extension. No ABSD rate moved.

Methodology5 rules
- Comparison anchored to announcement date because no effective date is recorded: 3 September 2025. The anchor is the effective date where one is recorded, otherwise the announcement date.
- The windows are the same number of days on each side of the anchor, and the anchor day belongs to the after window.
- A series counts toward a window only for observation periods wholly inside it, with values as originally recorded, not as later revised.
- Where no whole period falls inside a window, no value and no difference is stated; a day no whole period covers is missing, never zero.
- Concurrent land sales and archive events are listed by date alone. Nothing on this page is attributed to the event.
