Inheritance Law in Singapore

Inheritance tax is the same as estate duty in Singapore. In this, a tax will be levied upon a deceased person’s total market value of the assets. All the assets you have under your name are termed as “estate” at death and therefore subject to inheritance tax. You should know that even if you die without a will, the assets (estate) will still be subjected to inheritance tax as per the Estate Duty Act (EDA). 

Estate duty was abolished on 15th of February, 2008. So, anyone who dies after the cut-off date mentioned earlier does not have to pay Singapore’s inheritance tax. However, this does not mean Singaporeans are free from all kinds of estate taxes and liabilities. 

If you want more details on Singapore’s inheritance law, talk to our consultants at Lighthouse Legacy. 

  • We will decode the entire inheritance law in Singapore into easy language. 
  • Similarly, we shall also share about common property taxes in Singapore.     
  • You can also attend our seminars on estate planning, and it offers great insights on how to leave a defining legacy behind.
