On 17 February a meeting of the Parliamentary Subcommittee on Tax Policy debated changes to the procedure for calculating real estate tax (RET). The Ministry of Justice has submitted proposals for abolishing RET on a person’s primary residence worth up to EUR 100,000 and for substantially reducing the level of RET on homes with a cadastral value (CV) higher than that. There are plans to introduce a special value which, once a new CV base is adopted, would provide a mechanism for reasonable RET charges and strengthen everyone’s right to a privately owned home.
