Photo: TanjugOn Tuesday, at the session of the City Assembly, councilors will decide on the amount of property taxes for the next year. It was suggested that the increase should not exceed five percent. The Democratic Party demands that the tax be removed from the agenda, and We Are Not Drowning Belgrade demands that the area of taxation be reformed
One of the attractive points on the agenda of the upcoming session of the Belgrade City Assembly this Tuesday will be the increase in property taxes for next year.
As before, how much tax citizens will pay in the territory of the capital depends on the zone and the type of real estate they own.
The property tax is determined on the basis of the average price per square meter, and the average prices are formed on the basis of real estate prices realized in the market. In accordance with the jump in real estate prices, there is also an increase in property taxes.
Belgrade is divided into 14 zones. In each zone, the average price per square meter is different, and therefore the amount of tax.
The extra zone includes parts of Dedinje and the Golf settlement, the first and second zones the old part of Belgrade, the city center, but also parts of Čukarica, Novi Belgrade and Zemun, the third wider center - Palilulu, Voždovac, Rakovica, Čukarica, more distant parts of Novi Belgrade, Zemun and Surčin , while the fourth and fifth zones cover the outskirts of Palilula, Zvezdara, Voždovac, Rakovica, Čukarica, Novi Belgrade, as well as the center of Obrenovac, Lazarevac and Mladenovac.
According to the proposal for a decision on which councilors need to express their opinion, the tax increase will not exceed five percent: "Property tax for 2023 for the corresponding area of the same real estate can be determined in an amount that is up to five percent increased in relation to the relevant tax liability of that taxpayer for 2022".
For example, it looks like this: the square meter of an apartment in the first zone of the capital is now worth 227 dinars, and last year it was worth 978 dinars, which is an increase of 215 percent. If the aforementioned decision is adopted on Tuesday, the residents of the first zone will not pay a tax increased by 296 percent, but by - five.
On Tuesday, the Democratic Party will request that "items 6 to 9 be removed from the agenda, which refer to proposed decisions on changes and additions to decisions on the level of prices and tax rates on citizens' property and on the determination of zones on the territory of Belgrade."
They say that "the current government did not organize a single public discussion based on these proposals, although this is a legal obligation according to Article 142 of the Statute of the City of Belgrade." If the government refuses to remove these items from the agenda and organize public hearings, the DS will overturn these illegal decisions in court," the statement of the DS states.
The Ne davimo Belgrade movement proposes to completely reform the area of property taxes.
Dobrica Veselinović, councilor of this movement, says that the increase in taxes is expected because it depends on real estate prices, which have risen by 30 percent, but she assesses that the proposed decisions are "just putting out the fire, so that citizens do not become dissatisfied because the price of real estate has increased, which it should follow." tax."
That's why Ne davimo Belgrade suggests that this area be totally reformed.
"Our proposal is that the tax is not paid on the only home, the family home, and then the tax is progressively paid on all property that people have outside of the basic apartment they live in," explained Veselinović.
It is interesting to know that in Croatia and Slovenia no tax is paid on the apartment you live in.
