What tax will have to be paid when buying a house in Germany
In Germany, unlike other EU countries, for example, Lithuania, Latvia, there is a rather unpleasant tax for the buyer. It is established by the state.
It is called real estate tax tax. It is accrued for all purchased real estate, at the price of acquisition according to the contract of sale of more than two and a half thousand euros.
In the past two years, this collection is gradually growing. Previously, before promotion, he was stably the same in all federal lands and amounted to three and a half percent of the purchase value of the object in a notarial agreement. Last year, the tax began to grow, and this growth began from the capital of Berlin.
