Lease term of the land before changing the use purpose

In which:

+ The land price corresponding to the lease term of the land before changing the use purpose is the land price in the Land Price List for determining the land rent paid once for the entire lease period.

- For non-agricultural land allocated with a land levy or leased with land rent paid once for the entire lease period, the land levy before changing the use purpose is calculated as follows:

Land levy before changing the use purpose = Land area multiplied by (x) the land price corresponding to the allocation or lease term of the land before changing the use purpose x Remaining land use term
Allocation or lease term of the land before changing the use purpose

In which:

+ The land price corresponding to the allocation or lease term of the land before changing the use purpose is the land price in the Land Price List to determine the land rent paid once for the entire lease period.

+ The remaining land use term is determined by subtracting (-) the used land term from the total allocated or leased land term before changing the use purpose.
