A RECENT mini-poll conducted by the online Cyprus Property Magazine revealed that nearly 80% of those who voted believe that property prices will continue to fall during 2009. While only 1 in 10 believe they will increase, more than 50% believe they will decrease by more than 10%.
Reflecting the stagnant property market, Capital Gains Tax receipts plummeted 82% in the first four months of the year to €21.3 million compared to last years figure of €116.2. Stamp Duty and Immovable Property Tax receipts also fell.
