Property capital gains: releasing capital after 15 years
Test full exemption after fifteen years while distinguishing a long-term private owner from professional property trading.
Source Plan: 10 years; scenario: 15 years
The published source measure proposed full exemption after 10 years. The new scenario deliberately tests 15 years as a stronger anti-speculation holding period while still releasing capital much earlier than France’s current 22/30-year schedule.
Comparators
| Country | Logic |
|---|---|
| Germany | Private real-estate sales are within §23 when acquisition-to-sale is no more than 10 years. |
| Singapore | Capital gains generally untaxed unless property trading is found; frequency, motive, finance and holding period matter. |
| Japan | Over five years is long-term, but gains remain taxable. |
| France | Full IR exemption after 22 years and social-contribution exemption after 30 years. |
