If you buy together with or through a company, or via a split purchase (usufruct\/bare ownership), you are not eligible for 2% and you pay 12% registration duties. Are you working with structures often used for luxury real estate, such as French SCIs? Align this in advance with your notary or tax adviser.<\/p><p>Mind the timing: in principle, the date of the notarial deed is decisive for the applicable regime. If the deed is in 2026, the tightened conditions apply. Discuss the planning of the preliminary agreement and the deed in time with your notary, especially when you are preparing a high-end purchase, and follow recent market insights in Sales of million-euro apartments in Belgium are declining.
