Knokke-Heist significantly increases second residence tax | Focus and WTV

The tax goes from 810 to 990 euros. In subsequent years, 20 euros will be added each time. According to the municipal council, this is still one of the lowest rates on our coast. At the beginning of this year, the Court of Cassation ruled that levying a second home tax is indeed possible, after a group of second home owners filed a complaint. They find it discriminatory that residents of Knokke-Heist do not have to pay additional personal tax and that they are taxed on their second home.
