New inheritance tax law (2/2)
Creation of a 30 000 € exemption for a money gift
These gifts have to be given in unrestricted ownership to the benefice of a child, a grand-child, great grand-child or if the donor does not have one, to the benefice of a nephew or a niece.
The beneficiaries have to be major or emancipated and the donor aged less than 65 years old.
These measures apply to the gifts and deaths that took place as from the date of the law publication to the ‘Official Journal’.
Creation of an income tax credit regarding the loan interest
It concerns every person who make a loan to buy or to construct their main residence. To benefit by this tax credit, the deed of sale of the main residence had to be signed as from the 6th May 2007.
The tax credit is calculated on the loan interest paid during the 5 first years of the reimbursement. It equals to 40% of the paid interest for the first year of reimbursement and to 20% for the 4 next years, but is limited to 3750 € for a single person and 7500 € for a couple (married or linked by a PACS). These limits are then increased of 500 € per dependant. They are doubled for handicapped persons, ie 7500 € for a single person and 15000 € for a couple when a member of the household is handicapped.
