Why doesn’t house flipping work the way it does abroad?
Three real reasons: under-construction properties carry GST on top of stamp duty — an extra cost buyers abroad don’t face. Most buyers here want to customize their own home, not walk into someone else’s finished choices. And the tax code itself rewards patience — short-term capital gains get taxed at your income slab rate, long-term gets a flat, lower rate. The government is quite literally paying you to hold, not flip.
