NEW STAMP DUTY: NIGERIAN INSTITUTION OF ESTATE
SURVEYORS AND VALUERS URGES GOVT. TO REVERSE CHARGES
After examining the
impact of the new stamp duty tax in the real estate sector, the Nigerian
Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) has appealed to the Federal
government to reverse the charges.
The President of the
institution, Sir Emmanuel Wike, who spoke during a press conference in Lagos,
said the timing for such increase by the Federal lnland Revenue Service (FIRS)
is wrong.
Wike explained that
housing and property development are already over burdened with multiple taxes
that include, building plan fees, governor’s consent fees, capital gain tax,
development levy, land use charge, capital transfer tax, withholding tax and
Value Added Tax.
SOUTH-WEST: REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS ASSOCIATION TO
FIRM UP WORKABLE PROCEDURES FOR LAND ADMINISTRATION
To stem the myriads of
problems hindering private sector-driven housing supply, property developers
plan to begin talks with states in the Southwest region to arrest the
situation.
The move comes on the
heels of current national housing policy that emphasizes use of the private
sector in growing the housing stock and providing jobs through construction
activities as well as ensuring affordable homes.
Essentially, the
developers under aegis of Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN)
revealed that the new leadership intends to dialogue with senior government
officials to firm up workable procedures for land administration and to
establish a one-stop desk in all the states, namely, Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Osun,
Oyo and Ondo to procure their documents.
INDIAN INVESTORS RETURN TO DUBAI PROPERTY MARKET
Cash-rich Indians have
been re-entering Dubai property market in large numbers after a Covid-induced
break, lured by attractive discounts and post-handover payment plans, property
consultants say.
The recent months have
also seen secondary markets in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) gaining traction
with expatriate Indians, who intend to use the market conditions to upgrade
from being a tenant to an owner, the consultants said.
Reports also confirmed
the rising interest among wealthy Indian investors to take advantage of the
current market conditions in Dubai.
Dubai has been a second
home to many rich and famous Indians – Bollywood icons Shahrukh Khan and Shilpa
Shetty among them – for many years.
