So how much ABSD did he paid? If nil, time for IRAS to plug the loophole.

Which is considerably lower than the developer's extension charges under Qualifying Certificate scheme.

Also, local developers (i.e. does not have non-Singaporeans as directors and shareholders) are exempted from the QC Scheme - which means they do not have to develop and complete the site within 5 years after it is bought and
