Four-grade progressive
rates are practiced in collection of the increment tax
on land value:
- 30% on the portion of increment that amounts to
less than 50% of the deductions.
- 40% on the portion of increment that amounts to
more than 50% but less than 100% of the deductions.
- 50% on the portion of increment that amounts to
more than 100% but less than 200% of the deductions.
- 60% on the portion of increment that amounts to
more than 200% of the deductions.
The increment is computed by the following formula:
the increment = the income obtained from transfer
of real estate property minus the deductions.
Deductions: the sum paid for the right to the use
of land; the cost of land development; the cost and
fees incurred in construction of new buildings and
supportive facilities or assessed price of old houses
and building; the tax paid on transfer of the real
estate property; and other deductions prescribed by
the Ministry of Finance.
In computing increment tax on land value, costs incurred
by the real estate development projects, financial
costs, management costs and payment of interest in
financial costs, should be deducted from the increment
value. The deductions shall be computed at a rate
not higher than the current rate for bank loans provided
the cost are assessed and shared as items attributable
to real estate property transfer and verified as such
by the relevant financial organizations. In regard
to the rest of the estate development cost in the
aforesaid category, the deducted sum shall be computed
5% of the total cost of the real estate. In regard
to the cost that cannot be assessed and shared as
items attributable to real estate property transfer
and verified as such by the relevant financial organizations,
the deducted sum shall be equivalent to 5% of the
total cost land the real estate.
