TRIP TIFE TAX SUPPLY FOR CLOSED PROPERTY

In this light, the existing arrangement of a three -year tax exemption for incomes that will come from closed real estate (for at least 3 years) or short -term lease that has been converted to long -term lease for at least 3 years, is expected to undergo significant lifting. The changes being studied are:

  • Do not lose tax exemption if the tenant has premature withdrawal (on his own fault) in 3 years.
  • Give the ability to conclude contracts shorter than the 3 years now in force and excludes categories such as deputy teachers or armed forces who cannot conclude such contracts so there are fewer homes available to them.
  • To eliminate the minimum of 3 years in which the property should be closed to be entitled to tax exemption as it works restrictively for a large number of properties
