Property Sales Tax May Be Applied Based on Ownership Duration

  Property Sales Tax May Be Applied Based on Ownership Duration The Ministry of Finance has proposed applying personal income tax on real estate transactions based on ownership duration to curb speculation, similar to policies in some countries.

Specifically, the shorter the ownership period, the higher the tax rate. For example, in ...
