What ensures that the estimation of the committees is not marred by corruption or bribery?
The committees will validate a great number of objective descriptions: building location (street width, whether it has trees, well-paved, overlooking, a garden, river, sea and others or not), building materials, building date, the district in which the building is located (whether it has utilities or not, maintained or not, does the utilities are connected to all units or not?). In addition, the applied rents in the district in which the building located will be detected as well as the sales rates of buildings within the district during the five years preceding the evaluation date. The committees will not take any procedures to evaluate the rental value, but it will centrally be determined via calculations and automated programmes.
The real estate tax is due on the first of January of each year, and it gets two equal installments, the first until the end of June and the second until the end of December of the same year, and the taxpayer may pay it in full on the date of paying the first installment.
Property taxes
The taxpayer is the natural person or the legal person who has the right to own, use or utilize the property, where the tenant is not considered a taxpayer, but is a joint partner with the taxpayer to pay the tax within the approved lease.
Taxpayer
25% of the proceeds of the real estate tax will be directed to the governorates for spending on education and health, and 25% of the entire proceeds will be allocated for the purposes of developing and developing slums.
