Property rates set to increase

Property surveyors have submitted their recommendations for the adjustment of zone rates to the Finance Ministry, with the system for the calculation of the so-called objective values – property prices used for tax purposes – including an additional 3,000 areas.

The new values will start applying from January 1, 2021, provided developments on the coronavirus pandemic front allow it, otherwise it will be postponed till the second half of next year.

Brexit: Anger as ministers use obscure rule to deny MPs a vote on blocking chlorinated chicken imports
Exclusive: Ministers attacked for ‘unbelievable’ tactic to thwart expected Tory revolt to protect food standards
