The purchase of a recreational home can be financed from your own funds or via a financing/mortgage. We cooperate with several financial institutions specialising in recreational homes and can advise you on the possibilities.

If you buy a new holiday home from a property developer or construction company, it may be subject to VAT instead of transfer tax. This usually applies to homes that are classified as new properties. The rate of VAT is usually 21%.

Yes, it is possible to take out a mortgage to purchase a holiday home. However, this is approached differently from a mortgage for a regular owner-occupied property. MarinaParken can assist you with this.

Holidays at home are more popular than ever! Especially the demand for holidays in luxury holiday villas is on the rise. That is why it is interesting to invest in a sustainable holiday home in the Netherlands. You will then benefit not only from the return, but also from the increase in value of the property!

Buying a holiday home has several tax aspects in the Netherlands. Here are some key points:
* Transfer tax
* VAT on new builds
* Fixed home ownership or box 3 
* Income tax when renting out
* Local taxes

The process for reclaiming VAT involves several steps:

• Registration with the Tax Office: You need to register as a VAT entrepreneur. This can be done via the Inland Revenue's website or by filling in a form and sending it in.
• File a VAT return: Once you are registered, you must file a VAT return periodically. In this return, you specify the VAT paid that you want to reclaim.
• Submit the return: Submit your return digitally via the Tax Office portal or with the help of an accountant.

You can reclaim VAT from the tax authorities if you buy the holiday home for business purposes, such as rental. This is especially true when buying newly built holiday homes where 21% VAT has been applied instead of transfer tax. To qualify for the refund, you must use the property for VAT-taxed activities, such as renting it out to holidaymakers.

In a purchase cost of ownership (k.k.) means that the buyer is responsible for the additional costs of transferring the property. This usually includes transfer tax, notary fees for the transfer of ownership and registration fees in the Land Registry.

With a purchase freehold (v.o.n.), the transfer costs are included in the purchase price. This means that the seller pays the transfer tax for the property transfer. This is often the case with new construction projects or new recreational homes bought directly from a property developer.

The main difference is who pays the transfer costs. With costs-to-buyer, the buyer pays these costs on top of the purchase price, while with freehold, the seller covers these costs and the buyer only pays the agreed price without additional transfer costs.

Depending on your situation, there may be tax advantages, such as deductible mortgage interest when renting. It is wise to consult a financial adviser to understand which benefits apply to you.

The small entrepreneurs scheme (KOR) is an exemption from VAT. You can make use of the KOR if you are established in the Netherlands and have no more than €20,000 turnover in 1 calendar year. The KOR is there for natural persons (sole traders), combinations of natural persons (e.g. a vof) and for legal entities (e.g. foundations, associations and bv's).

As the owner of a recreational property, you may face municipal taxes such as property tax (OZB) and tourist tax if you rent out your property. You will also be taxed on any rental income. It is advisable to consult a tax advisor for detailed advice.

Payment is made in several stages. A down payment is usually made when the purchase agreement is signed. The remaining amount is paid when the property is notarised. We guide you through the payment process step by step.
