Wallonia postpones takeover of inheritance and registration taxes to 2028
Official title: Projet de décret ratifiant la décision de report de la reprise par la Région wallonne du service de l'impôt en matière de droits de succession et de droits d'enregistrement tels que visés aux 4°, 6°, 7° et 8° de l'article 3, alinéa 1er, de la loi spéciale du 16 janvier 1989 relative au financement des Communautés et des Régions
Status: Parliament has approved this proposal. (parliament: ‘Adopted in plenary session’)
In plain language
- Wallonia is delaying the transfer of managing inheritance and registration taxes from 1 January 2027 to 1 January 2028.
- This is primarily an administrative adjustment between the federal government and the Walloon Region to allow more time for technical preparation.
- For citizens, nothing changes regarding the tax amounts or rules: the federal tax office will simply continue collecting them for an additional year.
