If the law in this field is amended and the tax on empty houses is recognized and collected by the municipality, the municipality’s income will increase. The Supreme Council of Provinces can also legally carry out this action in other cities.

Furthermore, Habib Kashani, a member of the Council’s Program and Budget Commission, also said: We collect value-added tax from employees before they get paid, and from customers of stores, and something should happen that taxes are collected from all people, especially those who have financial resources.
