The point of contention: second homes: Councilors remain stubborn about the imputed rental value

The major bottleneck in the abolition of the imputed rental value is second homes.

In essence, there is agreement in parliament: the imputed rental value is an old tradition that should be abolished. Citizens believe that this tax on fictitious income disadvantages homeowners. Even if you can make various deductions to compensate. For example, for maintenance work and mortgage interest.

The left-wing parties also argue for the abolition of the imputed rental value. Your condition for this: With the abolition, all tax deductions that homeowners can take today must also be abolished.

The Economic Commission of the Council of States continues to adhere to old decisions

In June, both the Estates and the National Council spoke out in favor of abolishing the controversial tax on house and apartment owners. However, that is the only common denominator.

The imputed rental value is not (yet) abolished

Because there is a lot of haggling over the details. The Economic Commission of the Council of States reviewed the proposal this week. She continues to show no willingness to compromise on the controversial issues – and has reaffirmed her previous decisions.

The point of contention is second homes

The central point of contention: second homes. The National Council wants to completely abolish the imputed rental value – also for second homes. The Council of States judges: there is no chance!

There is also disagreement about the interest on the debts. The economic politicians in the Council of States emphasize that homeowners can continue to deduct a significant part of the mortgage interest from their taxes. The National Council, on the other hand, wants to impose stricter restrictions on the deduction if the imputed rental value is actually abolished.

The agreement will be submitted to the Council of States during the winter session. The aim is to find a compromise that both councils ultimately agree to. But even if it is predictable that an agreement can ultimately be reached, the people have the final say. Because it is already almost certain that the referendum will come from the left. (oko)
