The ceilings may be reduced to take account of the particularities of local rental markets.

Ceiling

The tax reduction is calculated by taking into account the following:

  • Housing acquisition cost capped at €300,000
  • Ceiling of €5,500 per m² of living space.

You must also consider the overall cap on tax benefits.

Rate of tax reduction

The rate varies according to the duration of the lease commitment.
