Ang Sock Tiang

Graduated from the National University of Singapore, Sock Tiang started her career as a valuer with the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) and rose to head the Property Tax Division in 2003 during which she was appointed the Chief Assessor responsible for the annual value assessment of all properties in Singapore.  At the same time, she was also appointed the Chief Valuer by the President of Singapore, a role which required her to offer valuation advisory regarding the disposal and lease of all State properties.  

Her expertise and experience cover the policy formulation and administration of property tax and stamp duty, and the valuation of all kinds of properties including the highly specialised and unique ones.  She was personally involved in many high signature valuation projects such as the sale of State lands for the two Integrated Resorts and the massive land swap deal of the railway lands between the governments of Singapore and Malaysia.

Following her recent retirement from the public sector, she was appointed adjunct associate professor with NUS, and has been conducting training on valuation of real estate and property taxation at academic and professional institutions.  She authored a book “Property Tax in Singapore – A Practical Guide” in 2020.  She also provides valuation consultancy and is currently a panel assessor with the Land Acquisition Board.
