PolandThe Polish tax law provides an exemption from the civil transaction tax (PCC) for individuals purchasing their first home on the secondary market, provided they do not already own a property. This exemption allows buyers to avoid paying 2% of the purchase price as PCC. However, there is an exception: if the buyer has inherited up to 50% ownership in other properties, they can still qualify for the exemption. The National Tax Information Office clarified that this applies individually to each property, meaning a buyer could have partial ownership (under 50%) in multiple properties acquired through inheritance and still be eligible for the exemption. This clarification addresses concerns raised by taxpayers who inherited shares in several properties but wish to buy their first home.
