What is IPTU?
IPTU is a tax that all people who own properties in urban areas must pay to city halls. This tax is mandatory and is based on properties and land located in urban regions. Payment is annual and mandatory, with the possibility of paying in installments throughout the year.
The IPTU value is calculated based on the market value of the property, determined by the local city hall, taking into account factors such as location, built area, construction standard and other aspects that end up influencing the market value of the property.
Esse imposto é de responsabilidade do proprietário do imóvel, mas em alguns casos, como em contratos de aluguel, o locatário pode ser responsável pelo pagamento, de acordo com as cláusulas estabelecidas no contrato. O não pagamento do IPTU pode acarretar em multas, juros e até mesmo a execução fiscal do imóvel.
Therefore, it is essential that owners or those responsible for payment are aware of due dates and proceed with the appropriate payment of this mandatory municipal tax.
Exemption from IPTU or Immunity
The difference between IPTU exemption and immunity lies in the fact that immunity is a constitutional provision that exempts certain institutions from paying the tax.
The exemption is granted according to criteria established by municipal legislation.
Some institutions, such as social workers and public administration entities, have immunity from IPTU.
However, the exemption can be applied to properties built predominantly for low or medium standard residences, as long as they meet the criteria established by municipal legislation.
