Programme Synopsis

Does the bifurcation and deviation of the extent of legal and equitable interests in ownership (frequently arising out of domestic situations) has wider commercial applications? In today’s evolving real estate and tax landscape, the answer may carry far-reaching implications.

As part of SCTP’s new Industry Briefing Series created to spotlight key developments shaping specific sectors, join us for this inaugural session to pick up practical insights on key issues affecting the real estate industry.

Through a taxation lens, Accredited Tax Advisor (Income Tax) Mr Leung Yew Kwong, Principal Advisor at KPMG Singapore will explore recent share and property transactions, examining how differences between legal, equitable proprietary interests and rights to profits emanating from investments, may give rise to significant stamp duty implications, and where there may also be incidental, flow-on income tax implications. 

Mr Alan Cheong, Executive Director, Research & Consultancy at Savills Singapore will also share an update on the property market, including perspectives on how ongoing developments in the Middle East and the rapid advancement of Generative AI could impact Singapore’s residential and commercial real estate markets.

Programme Outline

  • Examine the tax and stamp duty implications arising from differences between legal, equitable proprietary interests and rights to profits in share and property transactions
  • Gain insights into how geopolitical developments and Generative AI advancements may shape Singapore’s residential and commercial real estate markets in the years ahead
  • Engage with industry experts on the practical risks, opportunities and tax implications affecting the real estate sector today
