As UNIAN reported earlier, the real estate tax was introduced in Ukraine in early 2015 with the entry into force of the new Tax Code. The tax is entitled to apartments with an area of over 60 square meters and houses of over 120 square meters.
Payers of tax on property, different from land plots, are individuals and legal entities, including non-residents, who own residential and/or non-residential real estate.
The total area of residential and non-residential real estate, including its parts (garages, household structures, workshops, office premises, etc.), is subject to taxation.
