The president of Owners National Association defended on Monday the creation of an income subsidy, which is already provided for in the legislation, rather than the status of “social nature of landlord”.
“what we found is that the only way forward is one that is under the law, which is the creation of the rent subsidy as the one that exists in all European countries. that is what is legislated and ready to put into practice, can not understand why not activate income insurance, “said Antonio Frias Marques Lusa.
Frias Marques reacted to pUBLIC news that Government wants to create the status of” social nature of landlord “through assignment of benefits to owners who rent properties with values limited to middle and lower middle class families.
the intention of the executive was advanced by the Assistant Secretary of State and the Environment, José Mendes, in an interview with Publico this Monday in which points to “a legislative framework encouraging the landlords who goes through things like tax benefits and income insurance.”
according to Antonio Frias Marques, insurance income would be assigned to the tenant and its value would be calculated as the difference between what it could pay, depending on their income, and fair income.
“we are not talking about speculative income, we are talking about an income of 6.7% of the asset value of the tax, which is attributed to the property by finance. Are rents that remain low, “he said.
Frias Antonio Marques stated that the intention of assigning tax benefits to owners is a” misfit idea, “remembering that four years ago this part there are many landlords you are paying more than IMI than they receive income.
“the IMI is paid on the basis of the equity value of the house, which is not in proportion to what the tenant pays. Systematically, we have been filed thousands of complaints to that effect which are rejected for finance. These need to increase its tax revenue but is a flagrant injustice, “he said.
The president of Owners Lisbonense Association estimated that the Government will” kill the rental market “if it continues to maintain that landlords do “social security” and not charge IMI to the assets of political parties.
Speaking to Lusa, the purpose of the Public newspaper article about the creation of “social nature of landlord” and the Correio da Manha daily information on rents remain frozen for five years, Menezes Leitão considered to be concerned an “ideological conception” that will “kill the rental market.”
“it is absurd” considered responsible about the government’s project to allocate tax benefits to landlords who practice more accessible income values for the middle and lower middle classes.
“it is an ideological conception of the ruling party and parties support it and do not realize that this is a business between private and want the landlords to do the role of social security, “said the official, noting that the creation of an income insurance also involves the private will.
Menezes Leitão indicated that in practice the existing tax benefits are not applied, particularly because “the finances put so many obstacles” only “9% of landlords” were able to calculate your municipal property tax (IMI) based in the rents they receive.
About the possibility of revision of the current law that extends the standstill period rents for tenants, particularly financial difficulties, Menezes Leitão considered that the State “is shirking its obligations and pass them to the private “.
the official recalled that the current statute provides that the State assumes, preferably through a grant, the difference between the amount of income tax by the market and the income tenants.
“These prospects will kill the rental market and prevent market flourish,” foresaw the association’s leader, arguing that it is to want to harm those who have property, “but only the other “.
” With rich heritage, the parties should lead by example and not face the properties just as charges. Have risen IMI in early August, they want to extend the freeze and run away from their obligations. (Parties) should start paying the IMI their properties, “he argued, in statements to Lusa.
