Proposal to remove value added tax for tenants
The head of the real estate union also stressed the need to remove the value added tax from tenants and added: especially regarding tenants, our demand is to be exempted from 9% value added tax because tenants move every year and this figure is for them. is a lot Paragraph 8 of Article 12 of the law tells us that this amount should not be charged for services. Today, I have a meeting with the officials regarding this matter and I hope we will reach a conclusion that the tenants will be exempted from the value added tax.
According to Khosravi, all industries are protesting against the value-added tax and we hope that the parliament will intervene on this issue. Unfortunately, the Tax Administration receives this amount on top, which is worse than profit.
Renovating the worn-out fabric is better than building housing around the cities
In response to the question of what effect urban regeneration and renovation of dilapidated structures will have on the prosperity and employment of the housing sector, he said: instead of creating satellite settlements around the cities, which are very expensive for the government, it is better to pay attention to dilapidated structures. Fortunately, the government has entered in this regard, but unfortunately, it has not approached the private sector. Governments have never been good traders, but they can be good observers.
Fast property system is inactive
Khosravi said about the Fast Malek system that was unveiled by the former president of the Real Estate Union before the election: Some friends made Fast Malek and unveiled it. This happened before the election and I have not seen it yet and I have no information about it. If this system is beneficial to the guild members and people, we will definitely follow up, but I have not been able to check this system yet. Apparently it has no activity. The members of the board of directors do not know about Fast Malek and it seems that it was more of a promotional aspect.
Empty houses belong to banks
In response to the question of what is the reason for the existence of 2.5 million empty houses in the country, the head of the real estate union said: In the past years, it was always emphasized to collect taxes from empty houses, but because the solutions were ineffective, this issue was not implemented. For example, the electricity or water meter was used as a criterion, and by turning on the electricity or turning on the water, the owner pretended that the house was inhabited. Even now, if the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development wants to go this route, it will not succeed. Of course, they said that the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development is going to provide codes that specify the condition of the houses.
He continued: I haven’t touched the 2.5 million empty houses yet because common sense does not allow the house to remain empty. So it should be investigated why there are 2.5 million empty houses in the country. I believe that these houses mostly belong to banks or individuals who have received large loans from banks for speculation in the housing sector, and now their units are empty. https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAFMaGXTvL-qCI3q0JA
