As already mentioned, the speculative tax on real estate is only due if the property is sold within the speculative period of ten years. The period always starts with the date of purchase. If the property is sold only after this period, there will be no tax on the profit made. What is important in this context is the expression ten-year period, which should be remembered. However, the profit remains tax-free if the property has been used privately by the owner within the ten-year period. However, a certain period also applies here. Before the sale, the apartment or house must have been used for private residential purposes for at least three years. It also counts calendar years that have started. A property purchased and purchased in December 2020 can therefore be sold tax-free as early as January 2022.
