VAT Incentives & 0% Down Payment will Boost Home Sales
The government has provided various stimuli to encourage interest in housing purchase. For example these two, VAT (Value Added Tax) incentives deductions and 0% DP (Down Payment). Both of these stimuli are expected to boost home sales, which had severe challenges at the beginning of the pandemic.
VAT incentives are officially implemented by the government from March to August 2021. With this tax cut scheme, every new home buyer will get a 100% tax discount of a landed house or flat that has a maximum price of IDR 2 billion. Then 50% for purchases worth IDR 2 billion - 5 billion.
Meanwhile, DP 0% is a 100% Loan to Value (LTV) and Financing to Value (FTV) easing scheme, this was provided by Bank Indonesia (BI) to stimulate property credit. By this easing, the bank will bear 100 percent of the credit application for property purchases and the prospective debtor doesn’t need to pay a down payment, aka 0% down payment. This program is active from March 1 until August 31, 2021.
Savills Indonesia's Head of Research & Consultancy, Anton Sitorus said that VAT incentives and 0% DP were a good move to encourage Indonesia's property business. Even though there was a limit on the incentive period, Anton assessed that this would bring positive prospects amidst economic recovery conditions.
"With this new policy, I predict home sales will increase by 20-40 percent," said Anton.
Anton also said that these two policies could be put to good use because prospective house buyers would get a low DP and VAT discount of up to 100 percent.
"DP and taxes problems have long been an obstacle for someone to buy a house, so with this incentive, people can immediately buy their dream house," said Anton.
