This is the third reported lawsuit embroiling PropNex over purported sale arrangements for buyers to avoid paying more in ABSD

A PropNex subsidiary has been sued, along with its salesperson and a law firm, over a so-called “99-1” property transaction, by a couple who allege a breach of duty by the three parties.

The couple are claiming a sum of S$586,172, the amount in additional tax and surcharge that the taxman had asked them to pay, for having avoided paying the relevant stamp duty for their purchase of a condo unit.

Neo Say Chuan, 47, and his wife Tiong Bock Lian, 43, are represented by WongPartnership’s Gavin Neo. They have named PropNex Realty, salesperson Don Tay and Anthony Law Corporation as defendants in the lawsuit.

The claimants identified Tay as an agent of PropNex Realty, but the agency, in its defence, has denied he is one. It instead described him as an “independent contractor”.

The Neos claim that Tay told them that 99-1 deals were legitimate and legal, and that Anthony Law Corporation, which handled the transaction, failed to inform them that the arrangement was unlawful or could be viewed as an illegal act of avoiding stamp duty.
