Tax Reform: Changes to Loans, Rents, and Stamp Duties

Published February 14, 2026, 09:37

The government is promoting a broad tax reform for 2026, which includes significant changes to loans, rents, and stamp duties. Banks will no longer function as 'tax collectors' in certain cases, while they will become the exclusive channel for rent payments. Stamp duty is abolished for all contracts, while tax breaks are provided for consistent mortgage borrowers. In addition, rent payments must be made exclusively electronically, in order to enhance transparency and combat tax evasion.
