Critics argue the measure unfairly penalizes non-residents while supporters claim it will curb speculative investments in housing markets. The policy could reshape real estate strategies for high-net-worth individuals, particularly those with multiple properties. Details on how the tax will be structured and enforced remain under scrutiny as lawmakers debate its implementation.
