What the Plan proposes

Plan source: Gain pour les ménages — effet sur les transactions à expertiser. The title and stated effect are preserved from the public edition; this page adds an initial legal and operational architecture for expert review.

The measure would sharply shorten the exemption period and must distinguish income tax, social levies, main homes and furnished rentals.

Status: structured civic prototype requiring expert review before filing or implementation.

Current system

For a taxable second home, full exemption currently arises after 22 years for income tax and 30 years for social levies. Main homes follow a separate regime.

Implementation path

  1. Define scopeSpecify properties, taxpayers, acquisition dates and exclusions.
  2. Rewrite allowancesAmend the Tax Code and notarial calculation forms.
  3. Estimate extra salesModel volumes, prices and transfer taxes.
  4. Prevent avoidanceAddress contributions, split ownership and artificial use changes.

Key risks

Two regimes

Income tax and social levies use different schedules.

Price effect

More supply can affect prices and local revenue.

Transition

Owners near old thresholds may shift sale dates.

Furnished rentals

Rules must coordinate with rental regimes.
