Taxpayers generally receive property tax decisions for the current year in March, April, or May. However, the terms are the same for everyone, so you must settle the obligation according to the values of last year’s solution.
When the new one arrives, you can compare and see if you need to pay a certain amount or you may have already overpaid the required amount, so you can reduce the next installment.
The property tax is paid, by the way, quarterly, within 45 days from the day of the beginning of the quarter, so that the installments are due around the 15th of the month: February, May, August and November.
For each day of delay in the payment of property tax, the taxpayer pays default interest, which currently amounts to 9.25 percent per year.
A fine of 5,000 dinars is foreseen for evading the payment of property tax.
Otherwise, taxpayers who want to can pay the full amount of the annual tax at one time, for example, at the beginning of the year, and in that case they do not have to take into account the quarterly installments later.
Tax on barns, sheds, swimming pools
