Buda: “Huge savings”

– We have introduced a reduction in the tax on civil law transactions for apartments on the secondary market. This is a huge saving, which is why many people refrained from buying an apartment and only looked for apartments on the primary market. Now it will also be a search on the secondary market because there will be big savings – said Waldemar Buda, Minister of Development and Technology, in “Sygnały Dzień” on Radio One.

What savings are we talking about? In the case of a flat worth 300,000 PLN PCC is 6 thousand. PLN, and the premises valued at PLN 500,000. – 10 thousand zloty.
