7.3 million property owners have a “rendezvous” with the new ENFIA property tax. The “revelations” of the new real estate tax account are expected from day to day with Independent Public Revenue Authority – AADE running at full speed to post the new bills to 7.3 million natural and legal persons. The law stipulates that the first of the ten installments of ENFIA is paid until the last working day of the month following the issuance of the tax assessment act.
