Eligibility and use of the instrument
Recognised grounds include specified failed property purchases, void or unusable documents, replacement instruments and inadvertent overpayment. An instrument already used generally cannot be refunded under the stated rules: possession, commenced tenancy, forfeited deposits or compensation can constitute use. An uncommenced cancelled lease may instead meet the terminated-lease remission conditions.
Deadline and application
Generally apply within six months of stamping an unsigned instrument or the date/first execution of a signed instrument. Married-couple replacement-home ABSD refunds use the first property’s disposal date for their application window. Use desktop Stamp Duty Login > Request > Apply for Refund for leases and purchase agreements. Prepare certificate references, co-owner consent, payment and CPF details, and cancellation evidence.
