Property tax: what reduction or premium are you entitled to?

Possible reductions

• Dependent children: If your household included at least two children domiciled in the property (and entitled to child benefits) on 1 January, you are entitled to a 10% reduction per dependent child. 
• Person with a disability: If, on 1 January, the head of the household or a household member domiciled in the property is officially recognised as disabled or as a severely disabled war veteran, you are entitled to a 20% reduction. 
  Good to know: 
  In both cases (dependent children or disability), the tenant's situation may also give rise to a reduction in property tax, which can then be deducted from the rent. The request must be submitted by the landlord via Opens in new windowMyTax.brussels. 
• Modest home: If the non-indexed cadastral income of your property is €745 or less, you are entitled to a 25% reduction. 
• Listed or protected property: If your property is listed as protected heritage or included on the conservation list, the reduction can range from 25% to 100%, depending on the protected portion. 

You can find full details on reductions in Opens in new windowthe property tax information sheet (only available in French and Dutch).
