ABSD remission is granted in the following scenarios: •For purchase of HDB flat/new EC by a household which comprises SC(s) and SPR(s) co-owners • For purchase of HDB flat/new EC in cases where HDB grants the household a 6- month or such other period as may be stipulated by HDB to dispose of its existing property(ies) • A lower ABSD rate of 5% (instead of 30%) will apply for purchase of HDB flat by SPR household where [HDB grants](https://buycondo.sg/hdb-housing-schemes-and-grants-2024/) the SPR a 6-month or such other period as may be stipulated by HDB to dispose of the existing property(ies) • Usually, when there are multiple purchasers to a property, the higher applicable rate applies.
