Or does it have a mortgage or not? Thus, the citizen gets the answer to his questions .”
Will the system achieve the audit of the evaluation?
Minister Corum said, stressing that Tapu transactions will take place through the real value of the property: “Some people register the real value of their properties, and others provide false or incomplete values with the aim of tax evasion; Therefore, we will soon activate applications and systems that solve the issue of missing values.
