Brussels government doubles premium for owners of self-owned homes

The Brussels government has announced plans to double the 'Be Home' tax reduction for homeowners who live in their own homes, increasing it from 164 euros to 328 euros per year starting in 2027. The policy aims to provide financial relief to families facing high housing costs. Approximately 200,000 residents currently benefit from this subsidy, and the proposal is part of an agreement reached in the governing coalition. The draft text will be submitted for advice to the Council of State and social partners before being finalized.

Vanaf 2027 verdubbelt de Be Home-premie, een belastingvermindering voor Brusselaars die eigenaar zijn van de woning waarin ze zelf wonen. Dit jaar bedraagt de premie nog 164 euro, maar volgend jaar gaat die dus naar 328 euro, meldt Brussels minister van Financiën Dirk De Smedt (Anders).

"Voor veel Brusselaars blijven de woonkosten een grote uitdaging. Met de verdubbeling van de Be Home-premie geven we gezinnen wat meer financiële ademruimte", zegt minister De Smedt. "Wie in Brussel woont en investeert in een eigen woning, mag daar ook iets voor terugkrijgen."

Jaarlijks genieten zo'n 200.000 Brusselaars van de premie. De verdubbeling was overeengekomen in het regeerakkoord. De ontwerptekst gaat voor advies naar de Raad van State en de sociale partners, om nadien een tweede keer op de regeringstafel te passeren.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the policy change factually without overtly positive or negative language. It includes direct quotes from the minister explaining the rationale behind the decision but does not frame the information with clear ideological bias. The content remains balanced and neutral in tone.
