The new bill would up the tax free value from 30,000.00 USD to 120,000.00 &nbsp;USD for homes that fall under the family patrimony category. &nbsp;From the value of 120,000.00 USD &#8211; 250,000 USD a tax rate of .5% would be assessed. &nbsp;For any values above 250,000.00 USD a tax rate of .9% would be assessed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For all other properties, including businesses, industries and second homes the initial value of 30,000.00 USD would be except from property taxes. &nbsp;The value from 30,000.00 USD through 250,000.00 USD would be taxed at a rate of 0.6%, and any value above 250,000.00 USD would be assessed a property tax rate of 1% .&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minister of Economy and Finance (MEF), Dulcidio De La Guardia, announced the presentation of a new bill on property taxation in Panama, specifically affecting families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-real-estate"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 -
