4 cases in which fees stop applying to white lands
The executive regulations for the white land fees system specify 4 main cases in which the imposition of the fee stops, as stated in Article 8 of the regulations.
According to The white land fee system, the application of the fee stops when any of the requirements for applying the fee mentioned in Article Seven of the regulations are met, or the development or construction of the land is completed within the regular period for paying the fee.
In the third case, the imposition of the fee stops when there is an obstacle that prevents the issuance of the necessary licenses and approvals to develop or build the land during the regular period for paying the fee, provided that the taxpayer is not causing or participating in the occurrence of the obstacle.
The imposition of the fee also stops when there is an impediment that prevents action. The taxpayer owns the land during the regular period for paying the fee, provided that he is not the cause or participant in the occurrence of the obstacle.
The measures that have recently entered into force regarding white lands aim to increase the supply of developed lands and real estate units and achieve The urban area that has been unexploited for a long period without acceptable justification, and whose non-use or exploitation affects the provision of sufficient supply in the real estate market.
Under the amendments, an annual fee will be imposed on white lands not exceeding 10% of the value of the land, according to controls determined by the regulations, on lands owned by one or more persons of a natural or legal capacity, with the exception of state real estate.
