range from 10 to 25 percent, depending on the classification of the property,

Law-abiding taxpayers will also have access to such
discounts at their next tax payment in 2023. Also, tenants of property owned by
municipalities and the Greater Amman Municipality are offered a 25 percent
discount on unpaid rents if they pay off rent arrears by June 30, 2022.
