Notes


1 The property is jointly owned by husband and wife.

2 The micro-BIC assessment can be utilized if the rental income does not exceed €76,300. This also allows offsetting 72% of the gross income as expenses. This assessment is applied in the first two cases.

3 In this case, the micro-BIC assessment does not apply because the rental income exceeds €76,300. Therefore, the costs are assumed to be around 50% of the gross income.

4 The maximum income tax rate for non-residents is 25%.
