The government also requires proof of funding to ensure the viability of proposed projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prime Minister highlighted that entrepreneurs pursuing housing development projects could qualify for substantial tax incentives. These include exemptions on duties for construction materials, as well as fixtures and fittings, aimed at reducing the financial burden of development.
