Improved surface land tracts
The General Tax Directorate has issued detailed instructions regarding the amendment to the Real Estate Tax Act, which we informed our readers about in Tax News No. 7/2011.
As of 1 January 2012, improved areas on tracts of land used for, or in connection with, business operations shall be subject to land tax at a special tax rate.
As a result of the definition of the improved areas of land tracts as a subject of tax, taxpayers are required to file a real estate tax return (or a sectional real estate tax return) in which they shall include the improved land and the tax applicable thereto.
