Response
Article 29 of the Freedom of Information Law (2011) prevents the disclosure of information that is prohibited by any enactment. Article 8 of the Revenue Administration Law (2019) prohibits the disclosure of any information obtained under a Revenue Law, including the Land Transaction Tax Law, for any purpose other than that for which it was obtained.
The requested information is therefore exempt.
