Key facts

  • Annual property tax is cumulative and progressive on all properties in a district: 0.2% up to 15 UIT, 0.6% from 15 to 60 UIT and 1.0% above 60 UIT.
  • The real estate transfer tax is 3%, paid by the buyer regardless of the contract, on the agreed price if higher than the recorded value, after deducting the first 10 UIT.
  • The UIT value in soles is not given, so thresholds cannot be converted from this source.

Steps

  1. Determine Property Value — To calculate property taxes, the value of the property must be determined. This is typically done by the local government or a certified appraiser.
  2. Calculate Tax Rate — Once the property value is known, the tax rate can be determined. This rate varies depending on the location and type of property.
  3. Pay Property Taxes — Property taxes in Peru are usually paid annually, but the exact payment schedule may vary depending on the location.
