Aid for compensation of the land tax increase
The application can be submitted starting from 22 April 2025.
The aim of the aid for compensation of the land tax increase is to mitigate the increase in land tax for owners of properties in Tallinn in 2025 compared to 2024 and to support taxpayers in complying with their tax obligations by giving them a longer transition period to adjust to the land tax increase.
