## Featured rationale

The selective reductions may modestly lower development costs in affected sectors, potentially supporting project feasibility without signalling a broad change across the non-landed market.

## AI summary

Non-landed residential development charge rates fell 0.2% on average from 1 March 2020, with five sectors declining 3% to 7% and 113 unchanged.

## Original article

The Ministry of National Development has revised the development charge (DC) rates for the period 1 March 2020 to 31 August 2020. The review is carried out on a half-yearly basis in consultation with the Chief Valuer. 

The DC rates for Use Group B2 {Residential, (non-landed)} have decreased. The DC rates remain unchanged for Use Groups A (Commercial), B1 {Residential, (landed)}, C (Hotel/Hospital), D (Industry), E (Place of Worship / Civic and Community Institution), and 3 other Use Groups F, G and H. (See Appendix 1 for Table of DC Rates).

The DC rates for Use Group B2 {Residential, (non-landed)} have decreased by 0.2% on average. 5 out of the 118 sectors have reduction in DC rates ranging from 3% to 7%. Rates are unchanged for the remaining 113 sectors. The largest decrease of 7% applies to the following sectors:

• Sector 34 (Sophia Road / Upper Wilkie Road / Mackenzie Road / Niven Road / Kirk Terrace / Adis Road)

• Sector 35 (Cavenagh Road / Bukit Timah Road / Mackenzie Road / Upper Wilkie Road / Edinburgh Road / Buyong Road)

There are no changes to the Use Groups Table and the Geographical Sector maps. 

The revised DC rates (Appendix 1), to be read in conjunction with the Use Groups Table (Appendix 2) and the set of Geographical Sector maps* (Map A and Map B), will be effective from 1 March 2020. The new rates will apply to cases which are granted Provisional Permission (PP) or 2nd and subsequent extensions to the PP on or after the effective date. 

If there is any disagreement over the DC payable for any development proposal calculated based on the rates under the respective Use Groups, developers and owners can opt for a case-by-case valuation by the Chief Valuer, as provided for in the Planning Act.

### 发展费费率修订

国家发展部已修订 2020 年 3 月 1 日至 2020 年 8 月 31 日期间的发展费（DC）费率。有关检讨每半年进行一次，并咨询总估价师。

用途组别 B2｛住宅，（非有地）｝的发展费费率有所下调。用途组别 A（商业）、B1｛住宅，（有地）｝、C（酒店／医院）、D（工业）、E（宗教场所／公民与社区机构），以及另外 3 个用途组别 F、G 和 H 的发展费费率维持不变。（发展费费率表见附录 1）。

用途组别 B2｛住宅，（非有地）｝的发展费费率平均下调 0.2%。118 个地段中有 5 个地段的发展费费率下调，幅度介乎 3% 至 7%。其余 113 个地段费率不变。最大降幅为 7%，适用于以下地段：

• 第 34 地段（苏菲亚路／上威基路／麦肯齐路／尼文路／柯克台／阿迪斯路）

• 第 35 地段（加文纳路／武吉知马路／麦肯齐路／上威基路／爱丁堡路／武庸路）

用途组别表及地理地段地图均无变动。

经修订的发展费费率（附录 1），须连同用途组别表（附录 2）及地理地段地图*（地图 A 与地图 B）一并参阅，自 2020 年 3 月 1 日起生效。新费率将适用于在生效日期或之后获批临时准证（PP），或获批临时准证第二次及后续展期的个案。

若对任何发展建议根据各用途组别费率计算所得的应付发展费有异议，发展商及业主可选择由总估价师按个案进行估价，此乃《规划法》所规定。
