Federal Government Agreement 2025-2029: key measures impacting the real estate sector
As the new Belgian federal government under Prime Minister Bart De Wever begins its term, the Federal Government Agreement 2025-2029 sets forth several significant reforms for the real estate sector.
These reforms, which aim to reshape the landscape of real estate in Belgium, include key measures in tax law, public and environmental law, and civil law. The most pivotal highlights are:
- VAT adjustments: Lower VAT on heat pumps and higher VAT on fossil fuel boilers to encourage sustainable energy use.
- Commitment to sustainability: Phasing out PFAS chemicals and targeting climate-neutral public buildings by 2050.
- Enhanced consumer protection: Amendments to the Breyne legislation and new mortgage conditions linked to energy performance.
