Programme Synopsis

Does the distinction between legal and equitable interests in ownership really matter in practice?
 
Join us for the inaugural session of our Industry Briefing Series, where experts from KPMG Singapore and Savills Singapore will share practical insights on key issues affecting the real estate sector.

Programme Outline

Through a taxation lens, the session will explore recent share and property transactions, examining how differences between legal and equitable ownership may give rise to significant stamp duty implications, and where income tax considerations may also arise.
 
You will also hear a property market update, including perspectives on how ongoing developments in the Middle East could impact Singapore’s residential and commercial real estate markets.

SCTP reserves the right to vary any aspect of the event/ webinar should the situation warrant or due to unforeseen circumstances. This includes but not limited to the following: cancel the programme, change the venue, speakers, programme dates, fees and CPE hours. SCTP will take reasonable effort to notify participants of the changes.
