Per 2026 lagere overdrachtsbelasting over vakantiewoningen

Bij de aankoop van een onroerende zaak, dat wil zeggen een huis, een kantoorpand of een weiland, is overdrachtsbelasting verschuldigd. De verschuldigde overdrachtsbelasting wordt berekend aan de hand van de waarde van de zaak, vermenigvuldigd met het belastingtarief dat van toepassing is op de transactie. Per 2026 worden de twee tarieven in de overdrachtsbelasting (2% en 10,4%) aangevuld met een nieuw tarief bij van 8%, specifiek voor beleggingswoningen.

Beware of excessive attendance requirements for association statute amendments; what now?

An association's articles of association contain the rules that members must adhere to. The notary records the articles of association upon the association's incorporation and can later amend them by notarial deed. Amending the articles of association after incorporation may be desirable to steer an association in a different direction. In some cases, for example, when the association is part of an umbrella organization, the association may be required to amend the articles of association. This amendment must also take place before a specific date. A common problem in this situation is that membership attendance is too low, making it impossible to amend the articles of association.
