When do I not have to pay transfer tax?

You may not have to pay transfer tax if you qualify for the starter exemption: you are between 18-34 years old, buying your first home as a primary residence, and the property value is below €525,000 (2025).

How does the starter exemption work exactly?

If you meet all requirements (age 18-34, first home, own residence, value under limit), you pay 0% transfer tax. You can only use this exemption once in your lifetime.

Do I pay 2% or 10.4% for a second home?

A vacation home or second residence that you do not use as your primary residence is taxed at 10.4%. Only your main residence qualifies for the 2% rate.

How does transfer tax work when buying together?

Each buyer pays tax on their share of the property. If one buyer qualifies for the starter exemption and the other does not, only the qualifying buyer gets the exemption on their share.

Does the value limit apply to the whole house or per person?

The value limit (€525,000 in 2025) applies to the entire property, not per buyer. If the house costs €600,000, no one qualifies for the starter exemption, even if buying with multiple people.
