Spokesman of the Economic Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly: Traders should be removed from the housing market and only those who are consumers should remain in the housing market.

Mehdi Taghiani, referring to the necessary measures to organize the housing market, said: "Organizing the housing market in the first step requires a long-term plan until we solve the problem of housing supply and housing easily." If it is not offered, we will face a problem.

"Until the land, which is the most important factor in housing prices, is not available to producers at a low price, we will have a problem with supply, but when we solve this problem, it will take an average of two years," he said. It pulls to market houses built on cheap land. The main issue of housing, which is the issue of supply, is being pursued in the Civil Commission.

A spokesman for the parliament's economic commission said: "But what concerns the economic commission is that we are pulling traders out of the housing market. That is, only those who are consumers will remain in the housing market. To do this, we are collecting signatures to facilitate the same law on vacant home taxes with amendments to make the law easier to enforce.

The representative of the people of Isfahan in the parliament further emphasized: instead of tying the work to the information of different agencies, which may have shortcomings and do not reach our goal, a deadline will be set for the people in the real estate system and road and urban development. Enlighten yourself. For example, I am the head of the household and I enter my code and postal code and determine whether I am a tenant or a tenant. Anyone who has not registered in the system after the deadline, and any unregistered place, in our opinion, is considered an empty house and is subject to tax. The goal is to return two and a half million residential units built by traders to the people's use cycle.

Toghyani added: "We are also pursuing the issue of capital gains tax in order to eliminate the speculative movements that are followed in the housing market and the income that is obtained from this place, which is higher than the inflation rate." Sometimes we have six months of inflation, we say there is nothing wrong with what you have lost in these six months, but the surplus is taxable. In other countries, 90 percent of non-productive capital is taxed. The price is not known, but income must be removed from these areas and go to production and business.
