Features accompanying sales tax on real estate

It will be equal to 13 percent of the amount that more than 1 million rubles.Given that the country's real estate is expensive, and the tax, respectively, will not be small.Draws attention to the fact that the amount of tax calculated from the amount of net profit.Net profit - this is the amount that is the difference between the purchase price and its selling price in the future.
