My Answer with regards to your Question:
In Singapore, the requirement for tenants to pay Management Corporation Strata Title (MCST) fees typically applies to strata-titled properties, such as private condominiums and some commercial buildings. However, for standalone commercial properties (i.e., not strata-titled), the payment of MCST fees may not be applicable.
Here's a breakdown of the key points regarding MCST fees and Stamp Duty for renting commercial property in Singapore:
MCST Fees for Commercial Properties:
In commercial buildings that are not strata-titled, tenants may not be required to pay MCST fees. Instead, the responsibility for maintenance and management of common areas and facilities usually falls on the property owner or landlord.
Stamp Duty Calculation:
Stamp Duty is a tax imposed on the signing of lease or tenancy agreements for both residential and commercial properties. The amount payable is calculated based on factors such as the rent amount and lease duration.
MCST fees are typically not included in Stamp Duty calculations for renting commercial property. Stamp Duty is assessed solely on the rental terms outlined in the lease agreement.
Applicability of MCST:
MCST fees are primarily associated with strata-titled properties, where multiple owners share ownership of common areas and facilities. In such cases, each owner (including tenants) contributes to the maintenance costs through MCST fees.
While some commercial buildings may have common areas or shared facilities, the payment of maintenance fees in these cases is usually covered by the property owner or landlord.
Clarification with Property Owner/Landlord:
Tenants should clarify with the property owner or landlord regarding any additional charges or fees associated with the rental of commercial property. This includes understanding the breakdown of costs, such as utilities, maintenance, and any shared facilities or services.
