Hebrew original
חוק מיסוי מקרקעין (שבח ורכישה) (תיקון מס' 87), התשע"ו-2016 (להלן - התיקון), התקבל בקריאה השנייה והשלישית ביום ט''ו בסיוון התשע"ו (21 ביוני 2016). התיקון קבע כי אזרח ישראלי ששילם את מס השבח או מס רכישה יוכל לבקש ממנהל רשות המסים לראות את הסכום ששולם כאילו היה מקדמה על חשבון האגרה שהוא חייב בה לרשויות ביהודה ושומרון. לאחר רישום הזכות בספרי הרישום המנוהלים בידי שלטונות יהודה ושומרון, יעביר המנהל את סכום המקדמה לשלטונות יהודה ושומרון. ההסדר האמור יחול על בקשה שתוגש למנהל 30 ימים לאחר פרסומו של החוק ברשומות.
