RATES

RENTAL TAX
Since the implementation of the new tax law as of January 1st 2001, a rented out house falls in "Box 3". That means that a tax rate of 1.2% (30% tax over a supposed 4% yield) will have be paid based on the economic value of the house (value on January 1st and value on December 31st, divided by two). Any mortgage debts may be subtracted from the economic value (remaining debt on January 1st + remaining debt on December 31st, divided by two).
Rental income is tax-free but this means that there is no cost deduction, not even the interest on the mortgage. The criterion used in this is that the rented house is not considered to be the landlord's primary residence.
EXAMPLE
The value of a house on January 1st is 300,000,--, the value of the same house on December 31st is 310,000,--.
The mortgage debt on that house on January 1st is 100,000,--, and on December 31st the mortgage debt is 95,000,--.
The rental income for that year is 23,000,--.
The costs for that year are 18,000,-- (of which 14,000,-- is interest on the mortgage. )
Tax to be paid in Box 3:
Value: ( 300,000,-- + 310,000,--) : 2 = 305,000,--
Debt: ( 100,000,-- + 95,000,--) : 2 = 97,500,--
207,500,-- x 4% = 8,300,-- x 30% = 2,490,--
Rental income: 23,000,--
minus: costs: 18,000,--
5,000,-- net (tax free)
EXCEPTIONS:
Those who for tax reasons are considered to be "temporary" landlords. For example, landlords who only rent out their property for short periods of time (for example over winter) and cases where the dwelling to be rented out is the landlord's main residence. The tax department or your tax consultant can give your more information about this subject.
When renting out, also consider the following points:
Your mortgage contract contains a "rental clause" that states that you need permission of the mortgage bank to rent out your house.
Some city councils or owner communities (apartments) may make certain demands with regard to rental.
* The above is for information purposes only and the stated regulations may vary; please contact the appropriate governmental institutions for exact information. No rights can be derived from the above.
