IMPT Property Tax Saving Summary 2015 -2016 – 2017
Adopting the philosophy: If you cannot live with it, change it, if you can’t change it, stop doing it.
The government stood back and took a different perspective cutting through all the debates.
The attempt to use 2013 Rateable Values for IMPT is abandoned.
The taxable Bands do not change.
Immovable Property Tax Savings for each year are as follows:
2016
2016 IMPT based upon 1980 Rateable Values
75% reduction in IMPT tax payable for 2016
2016 overpayments made to date will receive the discount and receive a tax credit or cheque refund
2015
25% tax reduction in IMPT retrospectively applied to 2015 IMPT paid
2015 receipts are now being issued with the discount applied.
Any rebate for 2015 can be credited to pay 2016 IMPT – effectively no payment will be due for some.
2017
2017 IMPT is ABOLISHED – IMPT to be no more
Penalties are still applied for late payments of IMPT, any 2015 payments after 31/12/16 will suffer a 10% tax penalty.
Property Transfer Tax
The 50% reduction in Property Transfer tax payable in 2016 has been extended indefinitely. So any applications for title deeds will still get the 50% tax saving if issue is after the end of year.
In addition those receiving title deeds now have the additional tax saving option of a further 10% for early payment.
Alternatively, the payment of transfer tax can be deferred by up to 12 months without penalty. If Property transfer tax remains outstanding beyond 12 months then a 10% tax penalty is added.
This change allows those trapped in Cyprus property ownership to get their title deeds, then sell the property, using the funds to pay the Transfer tax at the sale.
