Lease Duty Refund on an Unused Terminated Lease

The terminated-lease remission returns duty exceeding S$50 only when the lease has not commenced or been used.

Source checked · 11 October 2026

Conditions and use

The lease must be terminated from 19 February 2011 and not to facilitate letting by the landlord to another person. No party may have used the instrument. Possession, compensation, forfeited deposits or fitting-out works under the lease can count as use even before the formal rent commencement date. Ending a lease after occupation does not qualify under this remission.

Six-month claim period

Apply within six months of termination through desktop Request > Apply for Refund in Stamp Duty Login. Retain the original lease and documentary cancellation evidence for IRAS. Distinguish this termination-based remission deadline from the general refund rules that refer to stamping or execution dates.
