The Ministry of Finance has proposed amending the method for calculating personal income tax on real estate transfers, shifting from a flat 2% tax on the transfer price to a 20% tax on the profit — the difference between the buying and selling prices.

However, effective implementation will require robust data infrastructure and the application of technology.
