The amendments made by Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority<\/a><\/strong> on Regulations Governing the Real Estate Transactions Tax<\/a><\/strong>, amendments to a number of transactions exempt from the scope of the real estate transaction tax, most notably the exemption for a person contributing real estate they own as an in-kind contribution in exchange for investment units in a real estate investment fund, and the exemption for the transfer of ownership of a person\u2019s property to a company in which they hold shares for the purpose of rectifying ownership, in addition to an amendment to the vesting date for Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) projects.<\/p>\n

The Authority clarified that the amendment to the exception regarding the correction of ownership is that the exemption applies when a person transfers ownership of a property to a company in which he owns or previously owned shares for the purpose of rectifying ownership, provided that the property was recorded in the company\u2019s assets prior to the effective date of the regulation and that the person was a partner in the company on the date the property was recorded in its assets, regardless of whether the person remains a partner in that company as of the date of the rectification.<\/p>\n

The scope covers all types of real estate funds\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

She added that the amendments included expanding the scope of the exemption for real estate transactions that constitute an in-kind contribution to the capital of a real estate investment fund established in accordance with the regulations and rules of the Capital Market Authority, so that it covers all types of real estate funds regardless of their purpose, without limiting the exemption to thereal estate funds aimed at initial development or construction, and without limiting the exemption to in-kind contributions made only at the time of the funds\u2019 initial establishment, provided that the fund units or shares corresponding to the real estate contribution are not disposed of until the date of the fund\u2019s termination or liquidation, or for a period of five years from the date of registration or acquisition of the units or shares, whichever comes first.<\/p>\n

The Authority also made an additional amendment to the provisions of the regulations, pursuant to which a change in the ownership percentage\u2014which is required to remain unchanged for specified periods after the exception takes effect through a public offering of the company\u2019s shares or fund units\u2014is not considered a breach of the condition prohibiting the disposal of the corresponding shares or units
\nReal estate is exempt; thus, the exemption remains in effect in such cases to encourage the public offering of company shares and fund units. The amendments included Regulations Governing the Real Estate Transactions Tax<\/a> <\/strong>Amend the tax liability provisions in contracts for Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) projects so that the tax liability arises on the date of the actual transfer of ownership or possession to the transferee to whom such projects are transferred
\nUnder those contracts, the tax on them must be paid within (30) days of the date of transfer of ownership or actual transfer of possession.<\/p>\n
