WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT REAL ESTATE TAXATIONS

In any real estate investment or project, all the revenues and expenses were estimated and pre-determined at its very start or conception, serving as the basis for the acceptance or rejection of the proposed investment. The realization of the projected revenues and expenses can negatively be affected by unforeseen events. One of such is tax penalty and surcharge that can be brought about by neglect, ignorance or incapacity to pay on the part of the investor. Considering that there are frequent changes and issuances of new revenue regulations, like the new VAT Law, in addition to the renewed call for paying correct taxes on time, new and would be investors and even experienced ones should be knowledgeable and be updated on the changes in the taxation rules in order to pay the correct taxes at the right time, thus avoiding penalties.
