The economic guru wrote that the stamp duty on property purchases was high and questioned why it should increase with the value of the property when, according to him, the administration should not become more expensive. He stated that the property registration fee cost 1.5 percent of the purchase price and that new mortgage deeds incurred an additional 2 percent of the mortgage amount. In the case of a house purchase for 6 million kronor, the registration fee would, according to his calculations, cost 90,000 kronor. New mortgage deeds for 2 million kronor would add 40,000 kronor, resulting in a total stamp duty of 130,000 kronor, in addition to other costs. The economic guru instead suggested a fixed fee of at most 1,000 to 5,000 kronor and wrote that AI should be able to manage the registration of ownership changes and new mortgages at a low cost. #Fastighetsköp #Stämpelskatt #Bostad (translated)
