According to him, the dictatorship he leads is based on laws that were adopted earlier by former governments.
When faced with criticism from citizens, the blame is placed on the government or the Ministry of Finance, and in this case we have the case of assessing or reevaluating the value of residential property that was envisioned with the law adopted earlier, namely, in 2018 and sublegal acts as well as previously adopted. It's been three and five years, there are two cases of”, he said at ATV.
Prior to this law, Murati said the assessment was made by municipalities in Kosovo.
Five years if I'm not mistaken is commercial property, three years is residential. However, earlier before that law the assessment is made by municipalities and municipalities so they have largely made lower marks than the market value or there have been changes already, so even those municipalities that can do the assessments properly, while there have been changes in prices, and this has been a legal obligation”, Murati said.
He added that the MF has made no decision on the issue.
The Ministry of Finance in this case has performed a service but has not made a decision, because even this has often been presented unjustly, I have heard news stories, interviews the ministry or government has made. It's a lie. Somebody get me a decision that the Ministry of Finance or Government has made on this issue. This is automatic because the finance ministry department, which is for property tax, has a legal obligation to make the assessment so that it can engage experts”.
