According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, Seyed Mortazavi stated: Although the officials of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development say that their goal in identifying vacant houses is not to increase tax revenues, in my opinion, there is definitely a tax perspective on this issue. Of course, in developed countries, both second and third homes are subject to significant amounts of tax. This is because housing is not a capital good and is built and put up for sale for the needs of the community. In fact, real buyers of housing are only present in the market.

He added that imposing a tax on vacant units is a control tool and a means for governments to generate revenue. It can not be denied that it will have a significant impact on tax revenues in the long run. The numbers announced for tax offenses this year will undoubtedly increase in the coming years.

One thing that has become clear is the increase in the cost of housing

The housing market expert said that the tax on vacant houses does not have a significant impact on improving the situation in the housing market, adding that a clear and transparent event has taken place in the housing market, which has also led to an increase in prices. The government even agreed to increase the price of national housing by about 80% and increased it from 2.7 million tomans per meter to about 5 million tomans.

According to Mortazavi, taxing vacant homes will not have as much openness in the housing market as advertised and will not cure pain. The government must take two steps to reduce housing prices; The first is to provide manufacturers with some crucial building materials such as steel, cement, brick and building facilities at reasonable prices. Second, to bring housing into mass production; A success we have never had in years; Because the government does not interfere in the housing market. He took action in areas such as Mehr Housing, and despite all the criticism, some people who could not afford to buy a house became homeowners.

After a year of wasting time, the government accepted the inflation of construction inputs

A member of the board of directors of the Mass Builders Association pointed out: The government spent more than a year insisting on the price of 2.7 million Tomans per square meter for national housing, and finally admitted that the price of national housing should be 5 million Tomans per square meter, which is definitely up to the consumer. Reach an increase. In such a situation, he should think about big housing projects at the national level.

He said that the promise of eliminating trade by identifying real estate and housing status will not be fulfilled at all. "Maybe this measure will help the market a little and prices will be broken by 5 to 10 percent, but to imagine that people will benefit from housing," he said. It does not help.

Mortazavi emphasized: In developed countries, tax policies in the field of housing do not help housing production and are mostly applied to control the rental market. However, some people enter this sector during certain inflation due to the security of the housing market, which may lead to speculation. But the main problem of the housing market in Iran is not speculation, but speculation as a complication. In fact, the main problem is the lack of production that meets the needs, which provides the ground for speculation and speculation.

Most empty units are of the luxury type

The housing market expert said: "I believe we are weak in housing production and we want to buy time from projects such as vacant house taxes so that we can produce housing at the right time." Many empty units are luxurious. A series of people have several luxury units that are not our problem at all today. Even if it is sold or rented, there will be no opening for low-income housing.

Asked whether the 12-month deadline for newly built units and the 18-month deadline for mass production to enter the consumer market, as provided by law, he said: "Recession periods are usually long, and if during a recession , A unit may be built, one year may not be enough to sell it.

Builders are exempt from taxes

Mortazavi emphasized: In relation to pre-sale, we also have the pre-sale law as a software barrier that has ruled the field of construction for several years. So manufacturers avoid pre-selling and try to complete the unit and then sell it. This process is time consuming and may not sell a significant portion of the units in 12 or 18 months. So mass builders should be exempt from vacant house taxes. If this does not happen, the builders will surely delay in carrying out the next projects and will lose their motivation for construction; Because they face a risk in the housing market that has not existed before.
