Tax Update: Instruction on the Implementation of Tax Obligations on Rental of Real Estate
Subject: Tax

The General Department of Taxation (“GDT”) issued Instruction No. 33000 dated 18 September 2024.

The instruction permits a grace period of up to 10% of the lease duration without any tax consequences (including income tax and VAT) for either party. Should the grace period surpass 10%, it may be necessary to obtain prior authorization from the GDT. This favorable change for businesses signifies a significant benefit for both the government and taxpayers.
