Hi, i am Singaporean and returning to Singapore and i am not familiar with the tax laws.

My parents will give me 10 million upon my return.

1. Is this gift of money from my immediate family taxable by the IRAS?

2. I intend to use the 10 million to buy a 15 million dollar house. I will have to loan the rest. However i am not working and living of the rental of my current properties. The rental i collect is about $30K. I understand from my bankers that there is TDSR. Please explain. They tell me i can borrow up to 70% of my income and based of the 70%, i can borrow up to 60% of it which is 12,600. Which means servicing a loan of less than 4 million. I however am looking at borrowing 7-8 million . Anyways about it?

Hi

Rental income is consider variable income. So calculation of example sgd1000 only 70% will be considered which equate to sgd700.

Out of this sgd700 only 60% can be use for housing.

This is to ensure you are able to service the loan and able to sustain.

If you need further clarification. Do drop me a line.

Hi

I suggest you speak to your banker to understand more. As they will be in a better position to explain to you in details.

Dear Sir/Mdm,

A gift from your parents is not taxable. Based on your rental income of 30k and subjected to the TDSR cap of 60%, which is $12,600 per month.

Assuming you take a 30 years loan, you will be able to borrow up to 2.8 mil. Therefore, keeping the quantum of property to below 13 mil would be more ideal as you will also need to factor in the stamp duty costs.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and provide you with further assistance and advice!
