The impact of tax policies on the housing crisis in the EU

The purpose of the hearing is be to explore the intersection of EU tax matters and the housing crisis. Experts, key sector representatives, and Members of the European Parliament will examine whether some tax practices affect the affordability and accessibility of housing in the EU and which tax policies could contribute to addressing both the immediate challenges and long-term structural issues in the housing sector.

The public hearing will be structured around two panels. The first panel will bring together HOUS and FISC Members with experts to explore the link between taxation and affordability and how tax policies can shape access to housing in the EU. The second panel will focus on how tax policies can contribute to rebalancing the housing market.
