Tax breaks on your new flat in Brooklyn

To further support private individuals in acquiring property in 2024, the Luxembourg government has just announced increased tax measures. The good news is that these measures will be combined with aid already granted in 2023, making it a particularly attractive year for property investment in Luxembourg.

Barbara Streibel, from CBRE's residential department, has identified 3 that are extremely beneficial to the purchase of a new flat:

1. The tax credit - Bëllegen Akt : Initially increased to €30,000 in 2023, it will rise again in 2024. It will reach 40,000 per person! 

This means that a person does not pay registration and transcription duty on the purchase of a property up to an amount of €571,000. For a couple, this amount is increased to €1,142,000.

2. Debit interest : For the first 5 years of occupancy, interest charges on your home loan will now be deductible up to €4,000 per person in the household.

3. The super-reduced VAT rate : the exceptional rate of 3%, capped at €50,000, will continue to apply to the purchase of a new property in 2024, even for those who have already bought before.

    Why choose a flat in Luxembourg's new Brooklyn district ?

    As Barbara Streibel explains, the new flats in Brooklyn tick all the boxes for maximum discounts. What's more, they offer you every guarantee of making a risk-free purchase.

    • The construction is underway and the flats will be delivered in September 2025.  The deeds can therefore be signed before a notary as soon as the bank finance has been obtained. This means you can be sure of locking in the mortgage rate when you talk to the bank. 
    • BGL BNP Paribas provides the financial guarantee until completion of the work.
    • Eaglestone guarantees non-indexed fixed price, this eliminates any possibility of unpleasant surprises between the signing of the contract of sale and the handover of the keys.
