2. Tax rate

Tax on real estate transfer is 2% of the transfer price or sublease price.

Time for taxing real estate transfer is determined as follows:

- If the transfer contract does not require the buyer to pay tax on behalf of the seller, the taxing time is the effective date of the transfer contract as prescribed by law;

- If the transfer contract requires the buyer to pay tax on behalf of the seller, the taxing time is time of registration of the right to own or right to use the real estate. In case the person receives an off-the-plan house or land use right associated with off-the-plan constructions, the taxing time is the time the person submits tax declaration documents to the tax authority.

3. Tax calculation

- PIT on income from real estate transfer is calculated as follows:

PIT payable = Transfer price x 2% tax

- In case the transferred real estate in under a co-ownership, the tax liability incurred by each taxpayer is proportional to their portions of real estate ownership. The basis for determining the portion of ownership is legal documents such as the initial capital contribution agreements, the testament, or the decision on division made by the court, etc. If no legitimate documents are provided, the tax liability incurred by each taxpayer shall be evenly divided.
