A man wanted ex-wife to account for the stamp duty paid for a second property because he did not approve the purchase.
ST ILLUSTRATION: MANNY FRANCISCO
A man wanted his former wife to account for over $300,000 in stamp duty that was paid to buy a second property in secret as a preparation for their divorce.
He was upset because he said at least $206,000 of that sum was used to pay the additional buyer’s stamp duty (ABSD) and he noted this could have been saved if he had been consulted.
