Another surprise from Katalin Novák: you can claim a refund of 5% of the housing tax, who buys a new apartment with CSOK

If you are at home and working, life is much easier, said the Minister Without Portfolio for Families in the Kossuth Radio Sunday Newspaper. He stressed that it is necessary for the government to help the government now, the achievements of the last ten years “we have achieved, we maintain and we even seek to expand further” and not have to take a step back due to the coronavirus epidemic. Therefore, the government is planning more steps to protect families, another family protection action plan, with a priority area of ​​creating a home and making it cheaper for new-build home buyers to access real estate. .

According to Katalin Novák, the housing creation program contributes to economic growth, employs people and helps families find a new home. He called it important that, despite the coronavirus epidemic, as many people as possible have a job, an area where many can locate themselves and obtain a decent wage with decent work. He stressed that with the impact introduced in 2015, the government contributed almost HUF 500 billion to the creation of more than 150,000 families in the household. And the goal is to be able to help families more in the future ”, he added.

An example of the planned VAT reduction is that if someone buys a newly built property after January 1, 2021, which does not exceed 150 square meters for a flat and 300 square meters for a house, then they only have to pay 5 percent instead of the current 27 percent VAT. When purchasing a property for 30 million HUF, this can mean 6.5 million HUF in VAT savings and 11 million for 50 million HUF.

Those who buy a new build property with CSOK can also claim the 5 percent VAT rate starting in January.

This means an additional claim of 1.5 million on top of the 6.5 million savings for a 30 million apartment, and an additional 2.5 million for the 50 million apartment, in addition to the 11 million savings, which according to Katalin Novák will definitely stay with the families, because they can claim the VAT content. .

According to the minister, the good support available to the widest possible circle is also the simplest, but it does not allow abuses. Experience has shown that CSOK has been operating in this way since 2015, which is why the VAT refund option has been linked to CSOK, which is a well-proven form of support for those who are about to have a child and are raising sons.

The CSOK can also be used by parents raising their children alone after their existing children, it can also be used for used property and the support is also available for couples planning to have a child or for couples planning to have a child, he explained. .

He added that in case of becoming a large family, applicants can keep the baby waiting allowance in full, to which CSOK will be added, and they can also take out a long-term loan of HUF 15 million, with a rate guaranteed interest of less than 3 percent.
