Khums on Inheritance Appreciation
Question : I sold a piece of inherited land after twenty years, am I obligated to pay Khums on the appreciation?
Answer: It is not subject to Khums. Of course, if you kept the land with the intention of profit and increase in its price, after the sale, according to obligatory precaution, the appreciation – after deducting the inflation – is considered as income of the current Khums year. If it remains unspent at the end of the Khums year, its Kkhums must be paid.
