184,000 families have already been helped by the family home building discount (csoc), and more than 25,000 families applied for the home renovation subsidy launched this year, the minister without portfolio responsible for families told MTI on Tuesday.
According to Katalin Novák's statement, the amount of subsidies paid for renovation exceeded HUF 20 billion, and families have also applied for HUF 24 billion in budget interest-subsidized home renovation loans.
The government introduced the tax in 2015, as part of the home creation program, the VAT on newly built properties was reduced from 27 to 5 percent from January 2021, and those who bought a new home with the tax can claim the VAT back, he reminded.
He added that notary fees have been reduced, properties purchased with a tax are tax-free, larger subsidies can be applied for the construction of multi-generational homes - corresponding to the amount of the tax paid after the construction or purchase of a new apartment, and the home renovation subsidy has been introduced, for which a discounted home renovation loan - a maximum of six million forints - can be taken out . The latter was used by five thousand families by the end of June, he wrote.
According to the announcement, the government's goal is to maintain and expand home building subsidies so that families with children can raise their children in their own homes.
