Property and tax in the Netherlands
Buying property as an investment or second home? The tax rules differ significantly from your primary residence. Below are the current figures for 2026.
Transfer tax (investment)
8% (2026)
Reduced from 10.4% in 2025. For a primary residence, only 2% transfer tax applies.
Rental property tax
Box 3 (36%)
Deemed return of 6.00% (2026) on the WOZ value. Effective tax approximately 2.16% of WOZ value per year.
Mortgage interest deduction
Not for investment
Mortgage interest deduction only applies to your primary residence (Box 1). Investment property falls under Box 3 and does not qualify.
