The deadline for filing the real estate tax return is approaching

By 31 January, it is necessary to file a Real Estate Tax Return with the Financial Office. This obligation applies to property owners whose circumstances relevant for determining the tax changed in the previous year.

The return is typically filed in the following cases:

• purchase or sale of a property,
• completion of a new building or final approval (occupancy permit),
• extension, additional storey, or change in floor area,
• change in the way the property is used,
• acquisition of property by inheritance or gift.

If no change occurred and the return was filed in the past, no new return is required. In that case, the Financial Office will only send payment details for the tax.

Where to file the return?

The return is filed with the Financial Office according to the location of the property, not the owner’s place of residence.

When do you have to pay the tax?

The tax itself is paid later in the year, usually by the end of May, or in two instalments.
