Question of the week

Are units used in commercial or industrial purposes different from the residential units in taxation?

Units used in commercial or industrial purposes are taxed with price of 10% after deducting 32% for maintenance and exemption limit of L.E. 1200. Commercial units differ from the residential units in the deducted ratio for maintenance. This ratio reaches 30% for residential units and 32% for non-residential units. Besides, residential units have tax exemption of L.E. 24000 for only unit for the family. The word 'family" when applying the rule of this article includes the taxpayer, spouse and minor children. On the other hand, the maximum increase due to re-estimation of rental value of the residential units is 30% every five years and it reaches 45% in case of the units used in non-residential purposes.
