• L’instauration d’un système d’abattement de 20.000 € sur la base imposable pour une première acquisition d’un bien qui deviendra la résidence principale du redevable. Cette mesure vise à soutenir les jeunes dans l’achat de leur premier logement et générera des droits d’enregistrement moins onéreux.
• La suppression de la majoration des droits d’enregistrement de 12,5% à 15% dès l’acquisition d’une 3ème habitation en propriété. Cette mesure vise à stimuler l’investissement immobilier sur le territoire wallon.
