Companies have to navigate a complex set of tax rules relating to their real estate. This includes VAT management on real estate transactions, tax optimization of rental income and minimizing capital gains tax on the sale of properties. Companies should also be aware of the tax implications of owning and managing real estate under different tax regimes.
Property taxation: Micro-businesses
Micro-businesses, often subject to simplified tax regimes, need to manage their real estate tax obligations efficiently. This can include understanding income thresholds for rentals, possible exemptions and strategies for maximizing tax deductions. Real estate taxation for these small entities requires special attention to stay within the limits of specific tax regimes while optimizing returns on investment.
Property taxation: Individuals

Understanding the various tax exemptions and deductions, such as those relating to primary or secondary residences, is crucial.
